Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Lu Chen was good at everything, but he was a little too abiding by his duties.

It's okay to go a little bit out of line...

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Jiang Chengwan didn't say much more about this kind of thing, but changed the topic at the right time.

"By the way, Lu Qing, now that all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are on track, it's about time you moved to another position, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's heart suddenly trembled.

Damn it, I’ve already been ranked as a third-rank official at the age of 21, do I still want to move up?

Further up is the Three Pavilions!

Don’t you want me to join the cabinet at the age of 21 and become a first-class bachelor?

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Jiang Chengwan pursed his lips and continued softly: "I intend to let Wu Yue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, join the cabinet, and Lu Qing will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. "

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned.

Okay, okay, just flat.

Although under normal circumstances the status and power of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is much more important than that of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in terms of official rank, both are third-rank officials. Even though they have a lot more weight, they are still nominally equal.

It's not just a matter of joining the cabinet.

Don't panic.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen raised his hand.

"I respectfully obey your Majesty's instructions."

Seeing Lu Chen agree, Jiang Chengwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A fulfilling working day always passes quickly, and before you know it, it’s time to get off work again.

Lu Chen rarely stayed in Ziji City to work overtime, but left Ziji City with Chai Hongyu as soon as the time came.

Shasha~

Just after stepping out of the Xuanji Gate, drizzle slowly fell from the slightly dark sky.

During the plum rain season, Luojing in early spring is always shrouded in hazy drizzle.

However, even so, the east and west streets are still bustling with people.

Chai Hongyu opened her spiritual shield to block out the drizzle and cold wind. As usual, with her around, Lu Chen didn't need to hold an umbrella at all.

It can play and read, and is fully functional.

The top tool guy really is.

Soon, the two came to the East Lake one after another.

At this time, many pairs of young men and women were holding umbrellas and enjoying outings by the East Lake and near the stone bridge. It was a perfect picture of "full of spring".

Seeing those talented men and beauties passing by chatting and laughing, although Chai Hongyu's face was expressionless, there was a hint of desire in the depths of her fiery red eyes.

After a moment, she quietly turned her head and looked at Lu Chen who seemed to be thinking about something.

The red lips were slightly opened, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said nothing.

"what happened?"

Lu Chen noticed something strange about Chai Hongyu.

"Is Miss Chai worried?"

Chai Hongyu shook his head gently.

"It's nothing. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Governor."

The sound is stiff.

Lu Chen glanced at her inexplicably, but didn't ask any more questions.

Then, out of boredom, he casually looked around. When he saw a pair of doggy men... well, talented men and beauties walking together, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and subconsciously glanced at Chai Hongyu beside him.

Then, he saw Chai Hongyu staring at a young man and woman talking and laughing under an umbrella on a stone bridge not far away.

The next second, he narrowed his eyes inexplicably.

Tsk tsk...this girl...could she be missing her sweetheart?

By the way, she seems to have a fellow senior brother, his name seems to be...Ye Fan?Wo Ri, this name is a bit domineering...

The Junjie in Tsing Yi whom he had met once in Yuzhou came to mind, and a look of understanding gradually appeared on Lu Chen's face.

That’s it, it’s spring...

Since I miss my sweetheart, why not just go to him directly...

When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly, instantly attracting Chai Hongyu's attention.

Chai Hongyu asked nervously: "Mr. Governor, what's wrong with you? Are you catching a cold?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously wanted to use the Suzaku spiritual power in her body.

Chapter 260 Zhuxian Great Array

"It's okay, don't worry."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

"Maybe it's because I've been staying up late recently, and my anger has been strong. Plus I'm a little angry, and my throat is a little uncomfortable."

Chai Hongyu didn't listen to Lu Chen's explanation. She walked to Lu Chen forcefully, stretched out her hand, and grabbed Lu Chen's wrist. Her index and middle fingers directly touched his pulse, and at the same time, warm spiritual power surged out instantly. Flowed into Lu Chen's spiritual veins.

Although Lu Chen's strength is already outstanding among his peers, he already has the cultivation level of the Three Talents in his early twenties, but with Chai Hongyu, Gu Simiao, and Fu Hua, they have already reached the top at the age of 25. Compared with the monsters, it is still far behind, and there is no comparison at all.

Surrounded by extraordinary talents who are rare to see in a thousand years, if he really wants to use force on him, press him under him and do such and such things, his small body really can't resist.

like now.

When it comes to his health, Chai Hongyu will never be sloppy at all and must confirm it in person before he can rest assured.

After a while, Chai Hongyu gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Lu Chen's judgment was correct. His body was indeed fine.

But even so, Chai Hongyu still frowned slightly.

"Sir Governor, although national affairs are important, your body is more important. Please cherish your body. Only by taking good care of your body can you better contribute to the country."

As he spoke, the spiritual power of the Suzaku, which had extremely strong restorative and nourishing effects, continued to flow rapidly through the spiritual veins in Lu Chen's body. Two weeks passed in an instant, and the complexion on Lu Chen's face became rosy visibly to the naked eye.

This also made him realize that as long as Chai Hongyu and Fu Huan were around, he couldn't even think about death from overwork.

Totally impossible.

Lu Chen casually said a few words before dropping the topic.

"anyway."

Lu Chen looked at the talented man and beautiful woman enjoying the beauty of spring not far away, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Miss Chai, it's been a year since you came to the capital, right?"

Chai Hongyu looked at Lu Chen inexplicably, a little confused as to why he suddenly mentioned this, but she still responded honestly: "Well, it's been more than a year."

Hearing her answer, Lu Chen's eyes moved slightly.

“Before you know it, a year has passed.”

He first responded with emotion, and then said slowly: "Miss Chai, you haven't seen your senior brother Ye Fan for a year, right?"

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu was inexplicably startled.

After a moment, she reacted and took a deep look at Lu Chen, and her tone became a little brisk for some reason.

"I haven't seen him for a year, and I don't know how Senior Brother Ye is doing now."

If you look carefully, there is a subtle smile in her eyes when she looks at Lu Chen.

There is a subtle sense of playfulness.

As a straight man, Lu Chen naturally didn't notice the subtle changes on her face.

"Why are you asking this, Lord Governor?"

Lu Chen smiled, with a strange look on his face and pointed at the pair of young men and women outing not far away, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just saw them and suddenly thought of the first time I had with you brothers and sisters when I was in Yuzhou. The scene of meeting.”

"I remember that when you and Young Master Ye stood together, it was easy for others to feel that you were a match made in heaven. I thought you were a couple at first."

Chai Hongyu rubbed her clothes with her right hand unconsciously.

"Mr. Governor, do you... care about Senior Brother Ye?"

Under her subtle gaze, Lu Chen shook his head.

"I don't care about anything. It's just that Miss Chai has been doing her duty since she joined the Xuanji Guards and served the imperial court. She has never slacked off for a moment. I see it in my eyes. And Miss Chai is in her prime, so she is When I was deeply in love with my lover or Taoist couple, I couldn't see Mr. Ye for a whole year..."

Hearing this, especially when he noticed that Lu Chen's expression was extremely calm and indifferent when he said this, the smile on Chai Hongyu's face disappeared almost instantly.

Then I heard Lu Chen continue: "Now Luojing is no longer as turbulent as it was a year ago. The capital is under the control of the imperial court, and the Xiaoxiao disciples have completely fallen silent. Besides, there are Xuanji Guards in the capital." The elites are here, including Zhu Yong and other powerful people in the Cave Void Realm. There is no need to worry about your safety. Miss Chai has worked hard for a year, and it’s time to take a vacation with you, Senior Brother Ye..."

Snapped!

With a sudden crisp sound, the concrete floor under Chai Hongyu's feet suddenly cracked without warning, and the small pieces were suspended in the air strangely. Under the red spiritual power, they could not land for a long time.

"Mr. Governor, you misunderstood."

She raised her head expressionlessly and said without any emotion: "My relationship with Senior Brother Ye is purely brother and sister, not partners, and..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face suddenly showed disappointment.

Damn, have you read all these years of cultivation novels in vain?

Doesn't it mean that it's easy for brothers and sisters to have adultery... Ah, no, is it love?

Ye Fan went to engage in rebel activities for the sake of his junior sister Chai Hongyu. Isn’t this love?

Is there really such pure heterosexual friendship in this world?
