The next day, after the concubines had finished paying their respects, Queen Su Qingyao sat on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest.

Ru Meng came in with a cup of soothing tea to serve, and said in Su Qingyao's ear, "Madam, there is news from the Imperial Palace that Your Majesty is coming to have dinner. By the way, I will discuss with you the wedding date of Princess Ning Le."

"Shixu will definitely come over soon and ask me to choose the earliest wedding date." Su Qingyao shook her head helplessly. She knew Shixu's character.

"My servant has seen that Young Master Shangguan has been in high spirits since he came back. I am really happy for Her Royal Highness Princess Ning Le." Rumeng helped Su Qingyao massage her shoulders.

Su Qingyao glanced at Xiao Xiazi who was guarding the door. Xiao Xiazi directly raised his hand and brought out all the palace servants waiting in the palace.

"I only know that if I am happy for others, I should also consider my life-long affairs." Su Qingyao patted Rumeng's hand on her shoulder and said.

Rumeng was so frightened that she knelt down directly in front of Su Qingyao, "This slave made a mistake. Please forgive me, the Queen."

"Get up." Su Qingyao held a bright yellow handkerchief in one hand, and personally helped Rumeng up, and then kept holding her hand, "Rumeng, I don't blame you, I feel sorry for you. Doing this in front of me What's so good about a palace maid?"

Rumeng's thoughts went back to more than ten years ago, when the Empress Su Baolin had just entered the palace, and she was assigned to serve in Huayang Palace.

She always felt that her master was the best master in the world. At that time, when the master got something good, he would always give her a little bit. It was this little reward that allowed her family to have enough food and clothing.

Later, the master was named Empress Zhaoyi and moved to Weiyang Palace. She originally thought that the only maid in charge was Sister Ziqiu, but the master also mentioned her as the maid in charge.

Later, the master became the most noble queen in the world, and she also became the maid-in-charge of Fengyi Palace. Almost everyone called her Rumeng girl, and several princes and princesses also called them Rumeng. Auntie's screamed.

Everything she has now is given by the Queen, and she really has no way to leave the palace and get married.

"A slave has to serve his master all his life." Rumeng looked at the current queen and thought of Su Baolin in the past. They were all equally gentle and lenient.

"Unless the master dislikes the slave, the slave will leave on his own." Rumeng said, tears already falling.

Su Qingyao knew Rumeng was loyal, otherwise she would not have been brought to this position.

When he was grounded, Rumeng went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He could really have left, but Rumeng chose to come back.

From that time on, Su Qingyao deliberately cultivated Rumeng to become his confidant.

"Why would I dislike you? It's just that now that the imperial court is employing people, Jue'er intends to elevate Cao Yi to the position of Minister of War." Su Qingyao said frankly in front of Rumeng.

Rumeng didn't know how much hardship Cao Yi had endured and how many sins he had endured over the years before he was admitted to the imperial examination and went to serve as a servant in the Ministry of War, and now he was so praised by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Rumeng knew that these were the favors given by the Queen and His Royal Highness for her sake.

"Slave..." Rumeng didn't know what to say. Looking at the master in front of her, she knew that she really wanted her to be happy.

Kneeling in front of the master, tears kept falling, "I really can't bear to leave the Queen and Your Highnesses."

"I know, I know all these things, but how can a little girl not get married? Besides, Cao Yi has become famous now. Doesn't he just want to marry you back? I can make it happen for you."

Su Qingyao patted Rumeng's shoulder a few times, "But not now."

"The imperial court is currently employing people. Jue'er dare not directly recommend his own people now. Your relationship with Cao Yi cannot be known to others for the time being. You and Xiao Dazi are fellow villagers of Cao Yi. You may want to know the information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Change it, Rumeng, are you willing to suffer this injustice?"

Rumeng knew from the tone of the Queen's voice how important this position was, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Queen Su Qingyao, "I am not aggrieved. I thank you, the Queen, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Qingyao saw that the queen was no longer so stubborn in saying that she was unwilling to marry. Knowing that the matter was done, she helped her stand up.

"Jue'er has been working very hard recently. You can go give him some snacks in the evening."

Rumeng nodded heavily and said, "I obey your order."

She knew that the Queen had asked her to pass the message, and she only hoped that Cao Yi would not forget His Highness the Crown Prince's support in the future and work well for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Su Qingyao and Chengjue had just arranged everything, and Emperor Yinde sent Chengjue to the Yangxin Hall to discuss the candidate for the Minister of War.

Emperor Yinde sat on the soft couch with his eyes closed to rest, while Chengjue sat on the other side and watched Wu Chongyuan's brother Wu Tian's memorial announcing that he wanted to be the Minister of War.

Chengxuan is not the only one with such ambitions.

There are also several memorials in which officials asked to be appointed Minister of War, and Cao Yi's memorial is also among them.

Originally, Cao Yi had no hope for this position. The reason why he did this was because of the letter from his sweetheart Ru Meng.

After reading the memorial, Chengjue took out the memorials of Wu Tian and Cao Yi separately.

Emperor Yinde opened his eyes slowly and saw this scene, "What does this mean?"

"I think that in terms of status, Mr. Wu is definitely the most suitable person." Chengjue said, and personally handed Wu Tian's memorial to Emperor Yinde.

Emperor Yinde glanced at the memorial but did not answer it, "What is your identity? Chenghui's uncle?"

From the warm and angry tone of Emperor Yinde, Chengjue could already hear the dissatisfaction, but he still said bravely, "Yes, many of the ancestral families of the princes and princesses in the harem have done their best for your father in the previous dynasty, Chenghui Now that it is getting bigger and bigger, it is reasonable for the Wu family to want to be loyal to the father, and the father should also give the Wu family this opportunity."

Cheng Jue's words were very beautiful. He talked about the relationship between the Wu family and the eighth prince, and Wu Tian's ability. He really didn't mention a word about it.

It's not that Cheng Jue deliberately suppressed the Wu family, but that Wu Tian himself should know what he was trying to do.

"The court needs capable people." Emperor Yin De was originally dissatisfied with Wu Tian's overestimation of his capabilities. Now after hearing what Cheng Jue said, he felt even more dissatisfied. He took Wu Tian's memorial and threw it to the ground.

"Father, calm down." Cheng Jue immediately said from the side.

Seeing Emperor Yinde's attitude, Chengjue felt that what he did was right. After what happened to Chengxuan, his father had begun to be wary of the Ministry of War.

After all, Chengxuan is easy to defend against. If another Chengxuan comes along, how should we defend against him?
