Chapter 166 166. Meeting

A heaven-sent scream suddenly came from the Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Where are you kicking!"

"ah!"

"Ouch!"

"I'll pack it up! I'll pack it all for you!"

Since then, Qingfeng Pavilion has gained a handyman.

That night, time became quite difficult for Yunyao.

Because she is designing gorgeous clothes for Shao Yinyin.

Seeing that Shao Yinyin's birthday was approaching, Yun Yao was extremely anxious. In this anxiety, he even lost his inspiration.

She frowned irritably and subconsciously turned to write. Her slender fingers moved slightly, and there was a sound, and the ink was thrown all over her face.

Sinful, sinful, how could she change the pen?

Yun Yao put down the brush and wiped his face. When he saw the ink on his hands and body, he got up and cleaned it up.

After changing her clothes and washing her face, Yun Yao calmed down. She stretched and went back to draw pictures.

Finally, the day before Shao Yinyin's birthday, this set of gold and butterfly-wearing flower cloud satin skirt was completed.

The overall dress is made of brighter goose yellow, with larger shoulders and a wavy lower part. The wide sleeves and skirt are embroidered with intricate butterflies, which are lifelike and dazzling. Gorgeous but not distracting, she is guaranteed to be the center of attention in the audience.

focus.

Yun Yao put on his mask and went directly to the other side of the moat.

Probably because the previous sweet potato incident caused the palace to feel a sense of crisis, Yun Yao was not released. Instead, the servants of the princess palace came out to get the clothes, gave Yun Yao the reward, and then left.

Yun Yao raised his eyebrows, looked at the huge banknote in his hand, and returned home happily.

That evening, when Yu An came back, he was holding another box in his hand.

The reason why I say "again" is because the pattern of this box is very familiar, and it is very similar to the box where Yu An put his official uniform when he first joined the Ministry of Industry.

So Yun Yao asked: "Promoted?"

Yu An nodded slightly, his handsome face was not very happy, but rather a little dull.

He said: "A while ago, the prince sent people to clean up corrupt officials, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry was severely punished. He was probably stimulated, and because of his old age, he could not afford to be ill. He passed away today."

With that said, Yu An opened the box and revealed the purple official uniform inside.

Purple, first-rank officials, only below members of the royal family.

Yun Yao thought Yu An was feeling sad for the former Minister of Industry, so he did not celebrate him excitedly. Instead, he smiled comfortingly and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Okay." Yu An responded gently, turned and left.

The moment he turned his head, Yu An's face looked surprisingly heavy. He squeezed the box tightly and pursed his thin lips.

The next day at Mao Shi, Yu An was dressed in purple official uniform, which made his figure even more upright.

After saying goodbye to Yunyao, he went to the morning court alone.

Shaoguo goes to court at Mao time all year round. Summer is fine, but at this time of year, the sky is still dark and the moon is still hanging high in the sky.

Yu An came to the main hall with a trace of luck.

Not long after, Emperor Shao, dressed in dragon robes, sat on the high dragon chair.

All the ministers stood in their positions and knelt down to salute.

"Pingshen." After Emperor Shao spoke calmly, everyone stood up and stood still, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

In the next hour, people talked when they had something to do and kept silent when they didn't. Many officials had been used by the prince to testify against them, and they had become much more at ease recently, even talking less, and their efficiency had improved.

It was so dark and not close enough that Shao Huang couldn't see the faces, but he could see that Yu An had not participated in the discussion.

So Emperor Shao asked: "The Ministry of Works just completed the handover yesterday. I wonder if Yu Shangshu encountered any problems?"

"No." Yu Anxi's words are like golden words.

Everyone turned to look at him, thinking, is this brat so tough?

Shaohuang was stunned, because Yu An's voice sounded familiar.

As time went by, the sun gradually rose, and at one o'clock in the morning, the hall was already filled with golden light. Emperor Shao rubbed his brows and said, "If you have nothing to do, let's just come here for the morning."

Everyone knelt down again and respectfully saw Emperor Shao off.

Yu An had a hard time hiding. Seeing that he was finally leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Ci, the imperial censor, suddenly say: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say."

The emperor was stunned. If it wasn't for the royal family's reputation, he would have really wanted to kick this old man in the face.

Don't tell him sooner or later, he won't tell you until he leaves.

On his face, he looked like a benevolent gentleman, and he smiled generously and said, "Ai Qing, please tell me."

Shen Ci glanced at Yu An ill-intentionedly and said, "I feel that the minister of the Ministry of Industry is too young to hold a big position."

Shaohuang raised his eyebrows and said: "He is recommended by Yang Qing'an, the right servant. We can't reject him just because of his young age."

Shen Ci still said: "The six ministers were all eager to take the palace examination. Now Mr. Yu has been promoted without taking the palace examination. It is inevitable that it will be true. In addition, today is the first time for him to go to court and he will not express any opinions. , is also against the rules. Therefore, I believe that the Minister of Industry should be replaced."

Hearing what he said, the ministers in other departments also began to feel unhappy. Everyone had climbed up for many years, so why was Yu An so lucky?

So everyone agreed one after another without saving any face for Yu An.

Shao Huang's expression did not change. He did not care about the development of this matter. Although Yu An was a rare talent, he could play a role in any position as long as he was in the Ministry of Works.

So Shao Huang said: "Yu Shangshu, stand up and respond to everyone's doubts about you. I want to see what you will say."

At the moment, everyone is maintaining the kneeling position in which they just wanted to send Emperor Shao off, and so is Yu An. Upon hearing this, his angular profile showed a hint of stiffness.

Now that the matter has come to this, he is not afraid of it. He stood up calmly and said: "I have nothing to say. If anyone thinks he has done a better job, just recommend yourself."

No one listened to what he said, not because they didn't want to hear it, but when they saw Yu An's appearance, everyone was stunned.

Shen Ci had been standing nearby, but he had recovered a long time ago, while the others were quite frightened.

Only Shaohuang stiffened up suddenly and looked directly at Yu An, a dignified man of seven feet, with his eyes turning red.

Yu An faced this look, feeling a strong sense of rejection in his heart, and even felt like vomiting.

He added: "I don't care about the position of the minister. Anyone who wants it can come and get it."

Unexpectedly, Shaohuang said directly: "Yu Shangshu has solved many engineering problems for Shao in the past year since he joined the Ministry of Industry. I think there is no one more suitable than him. Is there any one of you who has such ability?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials below shut up.

They had come out of the Imperial College a long time ago. They were in charge of household registration, and they were in charge of sacrifices. They had forgotten all the basics. How could they still do this?

When Shen Ci saw that the situation was certain, his old face was extremely embarrassed. He didn't have any purpose. He just wanted to make Yu An unhappy. Nowadays, the Shen family is getting more and more lonely, while the Yun family has only a few people. On the contrary, it is becoming more and more powerful. The boys all climbed on his head.
