In the corridor, Shen Wan had nothing to do, teasing the parrot to talk. But I don’t know who raised this parrot, and it really didn’t have any kind words in its mouth. If you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you can feel it from this parrot. The master is so domineering and cool that all the maids in the yard like to tease him.

While feeding the parrot, Yin Shuang suddenly said, "Princess, the prince is back."

Shen Wan glanced toward the entrance of the courtyard and saw Xie Jingyan striding in. He was dressed in a black brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. His figure was tall and straight, like orchids and jade trees. He was naturally noble, especially his extremely handsome face, which was illuminated by the sunlight. There was a faint halo on his body, which made people unable to take it out after seeing it.

Shen Wan handed the feeding plate to Yin Shuang and stepped down the steps.

Xie Jingyan came over and Shen Wan asked, "How is it?"

Xie Jingyan hugged Shen Wan's waist as if there was no one around and said dotingly, "How dare I not obey your orders?"

There were many maids in the yard. Seeing this scene, all of them blushed with embarrassment. They quickly turned their backs, then quietly turned their heads back to take a peek, their eyes full of envy.

Shen Wan's fair face was even more gorgeous than the morning glow. This bastard, this was not a hug in the house, in public. He was shameless, but she still wanted it.

Shen Wan was so shy that she forgot to ask the emperor whether he had promoted Mr. Chen, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. When she remembered to ask, a gray pigeon flew into the yard and landed on the roof. Chen Feng jumped up and picked up the pigeon. Caught it.

Chen Feng took off the letter from the pigeon's ankle and presented it to Xie Jingyan for reading.

Xie Jingyan took it, unfolded the rolled up letter, glanced at it, and said to Shen Wan, "Your eldest cousin is going back to Beijing."

So fast?

Shen Wan glanced at the letter.

The letter read:

Four days later, return.

There is also a cloud painted on it.

Although the note is small, it doesn't have to be just three words.

Cherish words like gold and don’t cherish them so much.

The eldest cousin returns to Beijing, and I don’t know if the second cousin will come back with the eldest cousin.

The marriage of the eldest cousin has been settled. The two families can just wait for the eldest cousin to return to Beijing. The wedding date can be set. The second cousin has not yet settled. If he were not frightened by the marriage between his eldest brother and the princess of Huai'an, Shen Wan even wanted to tell her grandmother that her second cousin's marriage had been decided in advance.

Shen Wan was thinking about this, so she forgot about asking Mr. Chen. In addition, Xie Jingyan didn't take the initiative to tell her, so Shen Wan just assumed that the matter was not done.

Originally, she only had the attitude of giving it a try and didn't hold out much hope. She would be pleasantly surprised if it worked, but she wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't work.

As a result, after Shen Wan's nap, before she woke up completely, Yinshuang came in and told her, "Princess, the Emperor has asked Mr. Chen, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, to temporarily act as the Minister of Rites..."

Shen Wan was stretching. Hearing Yin Shuang's words, she instantly became energetic. She thought she had heard wrong and said, "What did you say? Say it again."

Yinshuang reported again, "Until the Minister of Rites recovers from his illness, Mr. Chen will temporarily take over the position of Minister of Rites."

Shen Wan looked in disbelief.

This look confused Yinshuang.

Isn't it Mr. Chen whom the princess asked the prince to recommend? The prince has settled the matter, why is the princess so surprised?

Shen Wan couldn't help but be surprised. She was the one who recommended Xie Jingyan to Mr. Chen, but she didn't really have any expectations. She just wanted to take this opportunity to verify her previous guesses——

The emperor is paving the way for Xie Jingyan.

Anyone recommended by Xie Jingyan or who was close to him was promoted by the emperor.

Master Chen and Ding You's love was stolen, which was beyond the expectations of all the officials. In Shen Wan's view, under normal circumstances, the emperor would never promote Master Chen, even if he promoted Master Yao, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, he would not promote Master Chen.

As a result, Xie Jingyan recommended it, and the emperor agreed.

Isn't this paving the way for Xie Jingyan?

The guess was verified, and Shen Wan was excited.

Although I don't know what Concubine Chen committed, as long as the emperor intends to make Xie Jingyan the crown prince, even if Concubine Chen stabs the emperor, it won't be a problem.

It would be great to be directly established as the crown prince without having to embark on the road of rebellion.

The emperor asked Lord Chen to temporarily take over the post of Minister of Rites to the Chen family. Everyone in the Chen family was shocked, especially Lord Chen himself. How serious the illness of his immediate boss, Minister of Rites, was. He went there twice in three days and still didn’t know. , he didn't dare to think about that position, so he did nothing.

Mr. Yao, the left minister, was giving gifts everywhere to build relationships and wanted to be the minister. Mr. Yao did not regard him as a competitor. In his heart, he felt that Mr. Yao had little hope of being promoted to the minister of rites. The position of minister was high and powerful. How many people were eyeing that position? ah.

When it was not his turn, Mr. Chen did not have extravagant expectations. He just took care of the things at hand. He worked conscientiously and fulfilled his responsibilities. Sooner or later, the emperor would see his ability and entrust him with important tasks. In fact, the emperor stole his love and let him Returning to the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Chen felt grateful and worked hard to repay the emperor's appreciation.

As a result, he did nothing, and the position of Minister of Rites fell to him...

Although it was only a temporary position, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew that the temporary position was only temporary. Once the position was vacant by the Minister of Rites, he would most likely actually take the position.

Master Chen couldn't believe it and asked, "Why did the emperor let me temporarily serve as minister?"

The impartiality of the message was, "You were recommended by King Ling."

Good news about a promotion like this always spreads very quickly because there is a reward.

The Chen Mansion sealed a thick package of rewards, and the father-in-law who delivered the message left happily. Mrs. Chen held Yun Mo's hand and said, "It's all thanks to you."

Mrs. Chen passed away, and few people came to express condolences. She kindly asked the steward to send a condolence gift. Only Prince Ling, who could not come to his wedding, asked the Eighth Prince to come and offer incense on his behalf. This matter was brought to the attention of the Emperor. You know, the emperor asked Eunuch Yuan to come to express his condolences to the old lady. Only then did all the civil and military officials come, so that the funeral of the old lady Chen could be held decently.

It was precisely because of this kindness that Master Chen rescued Yun Mo and the Chen Yun family got married.

Yun Mo shook his head, "Prince Ling recommended my father because of his extraordinary ability."

Mrs. Chen believed that it was Yun Mo's blessing, but Yun Mo's words were also comforting to listen to. Although the Yun family was just a merchant's home, Mrs. Chen was extremely satisfied with Yun Mo's treatment of people and things. She was no better than girls raised by aristocratic families. Oh no, it was the Chen family who found the treasure.

The Chen family is happy, and the Yun family is not as happy as the Chen family.

For Yun Mo to marry a young master in the palace of the minister, the Yun family had high expectations. Unexpectedly, within two months of Yun Mo's marriage, the palace of the minister would become the palace of the minister. The Yun family has two daughters in total, one is the young mistress of the palace, and the other will be the minister's palace. The wife of the prince of the Hou family.

Mrs. Yun was so happy that she could not open her mouth from ear to ear as she had two grandsons who gave her a good look.

Not to mention the granddaughter Shen Wan.

The emperor asked Mr. Chen to temporarily act as the Minister of Rites, which did not cause any disturbance in the court. However, on the morning of the third day, the news spread that the Minister of Rites had died of illness, and various forces surged.

They all felt that it was inappropriate to promote Mr. Chen to the position of Minister of Rites, and then recommend the one they were optimistic about. Even King Cheng did not give up recommending Anding Bo.

This morning, half of the time was spent by various forces fighting for the position of Minister of Rites.

But there are also many people who agree with Mr. Chen, and all of them are very important, such as Pingyang Hou, the Grand Master of the Duke of Tan, Xuan Ping Hou, Youxiang, Yanping King, An Wang, etc.

Even when the emperor asked the eldest son-in-law who he liked more, the eldest son-in-law agreed with Mr. Chen.

The battle for the position of Minister of Rites made the eldest prince and Xie Jingyin see how powerful the power behind Xie Jingyan was. A few months ago, Prince Ling was still in a wheelchair. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, he would be in the court. Occupying such a position, others do not even have official positions or go to court.

Finally, Mr. Chen temporarily served as the Minister of Rites for one day and then became a regular official.
