The master in the room, mother-in-law Mei Niang can’t sit still

When Chu Yanchong saw Wan'er, Wan'er also saw him.

She used all her strength to prevent herself from screaming, but her body was shaky, and she only kept herself from falling by leaning on the door frame.

"It's you, are you okay?" Chu Yanchong asked.

He was still very impressed with this palace maid who had been married to him for a day.

After all, his one-of-a-kind appearance and that delicate body like a jade carving were no less impressive than Anu and Jinxiu, and Chu Yanchong would naturally not forget them.

"I, I, I, I'm fine." Wan'er took a deep breath to calm down her almost dizzy self, "You, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm waiting for the Shangguan to wait for the imperial edict. The memorial has been handed in and I have to wait for her approval. Hey, I don't know how long it will take. This Shangguan is too pretentious to wait for the imperial edict."

Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

Chapter 54 Beautiful Misunderstanding

Am I big?

Shangguan Wan'er issued a soul question.

like……

It is indeed a bit big.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The people in this palace are best at watching people order their dishes, flattering others and suppressing others.

If Wan'er wants to be a good person and smile to everyone, then no one will take her seriously.

When the time comes when she cannot establish her prestige, Empress Wu will be the first to stop using her. What follows is a counterattack by several major forces in the palace.

By that time, Wan'er will definitely be eaten up to the point where nothing is left.

This is the cruelty of palace fighting.

But Wan'er has done well within the allowed range. At least in the outer court, the civil servants' evaluation of her is still very good.

That's why Wan'er was a little confused when she heard Chu Yanchong's complaint.

But one thing she was somewhat relieved about was that Chu Yanchong didn't know yet that she was the arrogant Shangguan Wan'er just mentioned.

Wan'er didn't intend to tell him her true identity.

"Well, Shangguan Daizhao is busy. It's not that she is arrogant. You misunderstood her."

"So that's it...but my things are also very urgent."

Chu Yanchong said anxiously, little Anu must have combed his twin tails by now and is waiting for him to go back.

"Well, let me go and ask for you." Wan'er said gently, "Don't be anxious yet. The rules in this palace are different from those in the outer court. Be careful of getting into trouble."

"I don't have to bother..." Only then did Chu Yanchong remember that he didn't know Wan'er's name yet, "I don't know what the girl's name is..."

A surge of anger surged up in Wan'er's heart - you've done this to me, and you still don't know her name!

"I'm just an ordinary female officer in the palace, so I won't bother the captain to ask." Wan'er said lightly, "Just wait here."

She returned to the room, sulked for a while, then took Chu Yanchong's memorial and read it carefully.

After watching for a while, Wan'er couldn't help but nodded.

Although he was young, and it was his first time to independently handle the order issued by the Queen, although this matter was not complicated, it was done so beautifully, and it did not cause any big waves.

It is very rare that the scope of the matter was controlled within Chang'anfang and did not spread to other cities.

It seems that this is indeed a useful talent.

Wan'er thought for a moment and called softly: "Here comes someone."

A palace maid soon appeared in front of her: "Shang Guan, what are your orders?"

"Take these memorials..."

"Here."

The palace maid picked up the memorial and followed Wan'er out of habit, but she heard her order: "You walk in front."

"Shangguan is waiting for an edict, this..."

It was extremely rude to walk in front of Shangguan. The maid suddenly felt at a loss and didn't know what to say.

"Don't be dazed, let's go."

"Here."

Chu Yanchong, who was waiting outside, was restless when he saw the door open and two women coming out, one of whom was Wan'er.

Wan'er quietly made a gesture to him, and then pointed at the woman walking in front.

Chu Yanchong understood. He thought that the palace maid in front was the Shangguan waiting for the imperial edict, but Wan'er had already persuaded her, and the two were going to see Empress Wu.

It's better to have someone in the court who can do things easily.

Chu Yanchong sighed.

It seems that I will get a reply from the queen soon, and then I can return to the princess mansion as soon as possible.

……

"Well, not bad, not bad." Empress Wu closed the memorial with satisfaction, with a smile on her face, "This Chu Yanchong seems to be a useful talent. I am very satisfied with how this matter was handled."

Wan'er smiled and said: "Congratulations to the Queen, congratulations to the Queen, for getting another good general."

"Oh, this is also the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." Empress Wu thought for a moment and asked with some uncertainty, "Wan'er, how do you think I should reward him?"

Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "The Queen must have had an idea in her mind, Wan'er doesn't dare to do anything for her."

"You, you!" Empress Wu gave her a helpless look, but she was still doting on her confidants and was not really angry. "Here comes Chu Yanchong, the captain of the Xuancheng Gate Division."

"Here."

Wan'er was shocked. If Chu Yan rushed in at this time, he would definitely discover her true identity.

By that time, he will know that the internal minister that everyone admires is actually a slut...

How is this possible?

Just when she didn't know what to do, she heard Empress Wu suddenly say: "Wan'er, come behind me."

Empress Wu was worried that Chu Yanchong would see Wan'er and think of her, so she did this. Unexpectedly, she accidentally "saved" Wan'er once.

When Chu Yan rushed in, he saw Empress Wu sitting high and a slim woman standing behind the curtain.

"Wei Chen, I have met Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven." Chu Yanchong said, cupping his fists.

"Well, Chu Yanchong, you did a good job and solved the Chang'anfang matter as quickly as possible. I am very relieved..."

"Wei Chen is scared. Wei Chen didn't think that much before. He just wanted to use the fastest speed to best fulfill the decree issued by the Queen of Heaven."

"Well..." Chu Yanchong's answer made Empress Wu even more satisfied.

"Chu Yanchong, you are a daughter of a famous family and you have a great talent. How do you want me to reward you?"

"This..." Chu Yanchong was a little stuck. If you have something to say, can't you just say it? Do you have to let me say it myself?

"The minor ministers are all under the command of the Queen of Heaven. Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness."

"Well said, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!" Empress Wu nodded, "In that case, then you can go to Menxia Province and become a Zuo Jianyi doctor. What do you think?"

As she said this, she kept tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

After finishing speaking, he gently raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yanchong, who was standing with his head bowed.

When her fingers tapped on the table, Shangguan Wan'er's brows involuntarily jumped a few times. Her hands in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, and her fingertips pierced into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

She wanted to give Chu Yanchong a stern warning, but she exhausted all her strength and couldn't open her mouth to make a sound.

But what made Wan'er breathe a long sigh of relief was that Chu Yanchong said in a deep voice without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty has an order, and I should bow my head and obey it. But... I am not belittling myself. It is actually because the responsibility of the minister Zuo Jianyi is too heavy, and I am young and have little knowledge, so I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up and live up to my holy hope, so... ...I dare not accept the order!”

After hearing Chu Yan's rejection, Shangguan Wan'er's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Only then did she realize that she had broken out in a cold sweat.

After serving Empress Wu for all these years, no one knows her better than Wan'er - once Empress Wu makes this habitual move, it means that she has murderous intentions towards someone.

Fortunately, Chu Yanchong was lucky enough to escape this time.

Chapter 55 History of Princess Mansion Chief

The official Changshi can be found in government offices at all levels, as well as in civil and military yamen, and his function is equivalent to the secretary-general of later generations.It is also a long history. The official rank of the long history in different levels of government offices is very different, ranging from the third grade to the seventh grade.

The Princess of Luoyang who was awarded the title of Anu enjoyed the treatment of a prince. The long history of the Prince's Mansion was from the fourth rank, so the long history of the Luoyang Princess Mansion was also from the fourth rank.

Chu Yanchong is now the captain of the City Gate Division, and his rank is the sixth rank. If he is willing to do this long history, it will be equivalent to being promoted to the sixth rank in a row.

Some people may think that the Princess Palace Chief Shi is not as powerful as the provincial minister Zuo Jianyi. In fact, this is not the case. In the Tang Dynasty, many high-ranking political figures had served as Chief Shi.

This official is actually a springboard, and it is a very training springboard. He is the assistant to the chief official of the first yamen. He not only manages various details, but also can participate in various decisions of the chief official.

Therefore, after practicing in this position for a few years, as long as the performance is not bad, you can usually get a more important position.

Moreover, as a long history officer, he will establish a relatively good relationship with his chief officials, which is equivalent to finding a strong backer for his future career.

Therefore, for Chu Yanchong, this is the most suitable position for him at present.

As for the doctor Zuo Jianyi of Menxia Province, although he is only in the fifth rank and is not as good as the princess's official history, as long as he goes one step further, he can be called the prime minister.

It can be said that it is a position that is below the number of people and above the number of tens of thousands. Almost all officials who want to pursue an official career will regard it as a lifelong dream.

However, if Chu Yanchong really chose the minister Zuo Jianyi as his reward, that would be his way of death.

His father, Chu Suiliang, was the former prime minister and had considerable influence in the civil service system.

Empress Wu, on the other hand, never dealt with those civil servants very well.

If Chu Yanchong chooses to follow his father's old path, in Empress Wu's view, it is very likely that he will get together with those civil servants again.

By that time, if Empress Wu doesn't kill him, who else can she kill?

Fortunately, Chu Yanchong had no interest in joining the provincial government or becoming prime minister.

In his opinion, getting a part-time job and being able to stay with Anu and Jinxiu all day long would be a day of happiness like a god.

Not to mention the prime minister, even if I give him a prince, I won’t change him!

However, this was good, and he made mistakes. Not only did he successfully eliminate Empress Wu's murderous intention, but he also further gained Empress Wu's trust.

In the eyes of Empress Wu, the current Chu Yanchong was a promising young man, and he was one of his own!

This is extremely rare.

Sure enough, Empress Wu's expression softened a lot and she nodded with satisfaction.

"In this case, I will not break my promise, so I will appoint you as the chief historian of the Luoyang Princess Mansion."

"My lord, thank the Queen of Heaven!"

……

"Princess, princess! Something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"

Haitang quickly ran to the martial arts field and shouted to Anu who was practicing swordplay on the field.

"Why are you shouting? There are no rules at all." Anu was startled and said angrily, "What's going on? What happened?"

"Master Chu, Master Chu is back. He is waiting for you in your room." Haitang said breathlessly.

"Come back as soon as you're back, I see you're in a hurry."

"Yes, princess, I realize my mistake." Haitang stood aside with her hands tied, not daring to raise her head.

"Princess, please go and see him. Brother Chu has been away for so many days and you haven't seen him." Weiyang stopped and said empathetically.

"Hey, it's okay." Anu smiled, "Let him wait for a while. I'll go see him again after I finish practicing."

"Your Highness, if this happens, Brother Chu will be anxious."

"That's it...well, in order not to make him anxious, I'll go see him."

Anu nodded, turned and walked towards the room.

At first, her steps were very steady, but after taking a few steps, her steps became faster and faster, and she even started running later.
