I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Chen Jue dragged his somewhat tired body back home, with things about Liao Feng lingering in his mind.

He eagerly found his sister Chen Jia, hoping to get from her a better way to recommend Liao Feng to the emperor.

Chen Jia was sitting in the study, holding a book in her hands, with a calm expression. When she saw Chen Jue coming in, she put the book down and frowned slightly.

"Ajue, you need to be careful about this matter. The emperor is the ruler of a country and has a lot of things to do every day. If you mention Liao Feng rashly, it may cause resentment."

Chen Jue listened carefully to her sister's analysis and nodded. "Sister, what you said makes sense. So what should we do specifically?"

Chen Jia pondered for a moment and said, "You can mention some cases of the Dali Temple in your daily communication with the emperor, and then cleverly bring out Liao Feng's contribution. But remember not to be too deliberate, and let the emperor discover Liao Feng's value himself."

Chen Jue suddenly understood, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I understand."

The emperor's birthday is a grand and solemn day, and the entire palace is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Chen Jue, dressed in solemn and luxurious clothes, stepped into the banquet hall of the imperial palace. The officials from the Dali Temple who had once excluded him were gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices.

The moment they saw Chen Jue, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they quickly returned to indifference.

Chen Jue smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew these people still looked down on him.

The emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, walked into the banquet hall majestically and solemnly.

His eyes swept across the room and finally landed on Chen Jue.

The emperor showed a friendly smile on his face, and he waved to Chen Jue, motioning him to come over. Chen Jue quickly walked to the emperor's side.

The emperor patted Chen Jue on the shoulder affectionately and asked with concern: "Chen Jue, are you doing well in the Dali Temple recently? If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

Chen Jue quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your concern. I am doing well in the Dali Temple."

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes full of kindness, as if he treated Chen Jue as his own son.

They immediately realized that the emperor was trying to warn them.

At the banquet, many officials from the Dali Temple surrounded Chen Jue with fawning looks on their faces.

Official A: "Sir Chen, what is your relationship with His Majesty? How could you be so favored by His Majesty?"

Chen Jue looked at them, feeling bitter in his heart.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I am just your Majesty's junior fellow apprentice."

Official B smiled awkwardly: "Don't blame us, Lord Chen. We didn't recognize him before. We didn't expect that Lord Chen has such a strong background."

"I am just an ordinary person. How can I be Taishan?"

Official A said quickly, "Master Chen, what are you talking about? We have seen your ability now. Even without this relationship, you will definitely excel in the Dali Temple."

Official B immediately said, "Yes, Lord Chen. Your wisdom and courage in handling cases are obvious to all. His Majesty favors you because you are indeed capable."

Official C was not to be outdone: "Sir Chen, please take good care of us."

They surrounded Chen Jue, with flattering smiles on their faces, and kept saying all kinds of compliments.

Chen Jue looked at the faces of these people and felt more and more helpless.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, sirs. I am only doing my duty in the Dali Temple. I hope that you will all work together and serve the court in the future."

Those Dali Temple officials who once looked down on him now had flattering smiles on their faces. They gathered around him and kept complimenting him.

Just then, the prince saw Chen Jue and waved to him with a smile.

Chen Jue's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the prince and saluted respectfully.

The prince patted Chen Jue on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Master Chen, the emperor loves you very much. Let's go and talk to the emperor."

Chen Jue followed the prince and came before the emperor.

When the emperor saw Chen Jue and the prince coming, a kind smile appeared on his face.

He asked with concern: "Chen Jue, I have always wanted to know how you are doing in the Dali Temple?"

Chen Jue bowed slightly and answered sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am in the Dali Temple and I am doing well thanks to the care of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, I have also received help from many people in the Dali Temple, especially Dr. Liao Feng. He is upright and capable, and has given me great support in many cases."

The emperor and the prince listened and showed interest.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? Is Liao Feng really so outstanding?"

Chen Jue quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Liao Feng is indeed very capable. He is well versed in the law and judges cases fairly. He is a rare talent."

The prince also nodded and said, "Father, if this person is really as Lord Chen said, he is worth meeting."

The emperor immediately gave an order and sent someone to find Liao Feng.

At this time, Liao Feng was in a corner of the banquet, nervously watching the situation here.

When he heard that the emperor was going to summon him, he felt excited, nervous and flattered.

He quickly straightened his clothes and followed the eunuch to the emperor and the prince.

Liao Feng bowed respectfully and said in a trembling voice: "I am Liao Feng, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor looked at Liao Feng, nodded slightly, and said, "You are Liao Feng? I heard from Chen Jue that you performed well in the Dali Temple. Tell me, what is unique about your handling of cases?"

Liao Feng swallowed nervously, trying to calm himself down.

He began to describe in detail his methods and experiences in handling the case, demonstrating his professionalism and wisdom.

The emperor and the prince listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to express their appreciation.

In front of the emperor and the prince, Liao Feng thanked Chen Jue for recommending him. The emperor was very satisfied with his performance and decided to give him a promotion and a raise on the spot.

The news quickly spread throughout the banquet, and other officials from the Dali Temple were extremely jealous when they heard the news.

They never imagined that Liao Feng would be appreciated by the emperor because of Chen Jue's recommendation and would rise to prominence overnight.

Their hearts were filled with jealousy and regret, regretting that they had not treated Chen Jue and Liao Feng well in the beginning.

Chen Jue was very pleased to see that Liao Feng got the due reward.

He knew that his recommendation was correct and that Liao Feng was indeed a talented person who deserved to be reused.

He also understood that in the officialdom, sometimes a person's opportunities and destiny often depended on a word from others.

After the emperor's birthday banquet, the status of Chen Jue and Liao Feng in the Dali Temple changed dramatically.

Those officials who once excluded them have now changed their attitudes and taken the initiative to make friends with them.

Chen Jue returned home, dragging his tired but excited body.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Chen Jia sitting in the living room with a book in her hand, but she was not concentrating on reading, as if she was waiting for him to come back.

When Chen Jia saw Chen Jue, a smile immediately broke out on her face. That smile was as warm and bright as the spring sun.

"Ajue, congratulations on having temporarily gained a foothold in the Dali Temple." Chen Jia said with a smile, her eyes full of relief.

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia's face, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

I felt happy because things finally turned around in the Dali Temple; I felt emotional as I recalled the difficulties I had gone through during this period; and I also felt a firm determination.

He slowly walked over to Chen Jia and sat down, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.

"Sister, I must become strong, no matter what means." Chen Jue said word by word, his tone full of determination.

Chen Jia was slightly startled. She looked at Chen Jue's determined eyes. She was happy for her brother's growth, but also a little worried. She knew that Chen Jue had suffered a lot of grievances in the Dali Temple, and she also understood his desire to be strong. But she was worried that Chen Jue would lose himself in the pursuit of strength.

“Ajue, being strong is important, but you must remember not to lose your original heart.” Chen Jia said earnestly.

Chen Jue nodded slightly. He understood his sister's worries. "Don't worry, sister. I won't forget my original intention. I just don't want to be looked down upon anymore and I don't want you to worry about me anymore."

Chen Jia gently held Chen Jue's hand, her eyes full of tenderness. "Jue, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. But you must be careful, the officialdom is complicated, don't take it lightly."

Chen Jue felt the warmth in his sister's hands, and his heart was filled with strength. He secretly vowed to make himself strong and become the only man by his sister's side.
