In the morning when the meeting was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sky was still clear, but it suddenly started to rain near noon.

The side hall of Fengtian Hall.

Tanchun put away the light apricot-colored oil-paper umbrella on the steps, swung the water outward, and was about to hang it on the railing beside him. Two young eunuchs rushed forward from diagonally below, smiling and saying that they would hand it over to him.

Just two people to take care of it.

The two young eunuchs may not know who she is, but they have probably seen her guarding the prince before, so they rushed to show her courtesy.

Tan Chun thanked them both, then lifted up the hem of her skirt and crossed the threshold.

Mrs. Wang turned her head and whispered to Youshi, but she was not noticed immediately. It was Mrs. Xing who got up first and called "Third Miss". Only then did Mrs. Wang notice, and hurriedly stood up and called Tanchun to come and sit down.

At this time, some people in the hall also recognized Tanchun's identity, pointing and whispering. What they were talking about was nothing more than the scene of suppressing the rebellion that day - the news has become more and more sinister in the past few days, and has already led to "Jiao Zhan Shi Yi".

The commentary version of "Qi Dang Qian".

Tan Chun walked up to Mrs. Wang without squinting, nodded to Mrs.

He has been promoted to the third rank of general political envoy."

After hearing this, the person who had the biggest reaction was Xue Baochai.

At the beginning, Jiao Shun expected that he would be transferred to the General Affairs Department, and he promised in advance to assign a position to Xue Pan. But at that time, he only thought that he would be transferred to the General Affairs Department. Who could have imagined that he would now become a third-grade official!

In this way, I no longer have to worry about my brother making a joke in the General Affairs Department.

As for Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You, they were naturally very happy to hear that Jiao Shun was promoted, but they all had little idea of ​​what this general ambassador did.

"The general affairs envoy is the chief official of the general affairs department."

Fortunately, Tanchun had done a lot of research on this and immediately explained carefully: "The General Affairs Department originally meant the communication between the government and the local government, and was responsible for the communication between the imperial court and local governments. However, later on, the six ministries gradually went their own way and issued official documents.

Local official documents basically do not go through the General Affairs Department, and the authority of the General Affairs Department gradually declines."

When she heard that the power of the General Secretary was declining, Mrs. Xing, who was still happy at first, couldn't help but question: "Chang Qing has made great achievements, why was he sent to the cold Yamen?"

"Auntie, don't worry, please listen to what I have to say first."

Tanchun raised his hand and pressed it downwards, signaling Mr.

—However, because many newspapers have backends, the General Secretary often can only turn a blind eye and does not dare to act arbitrarily."

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't this still Leng Yamen?"

"It's different now!"

Tanchun raised his voice a little higher, as if he was proud of himself: "With the telegraph as a killer weapon, the General Affairs Department can gradually regain its original authority - sending people to deliver official documents, how can it be as convenient as sending a telegram?

"

After a pause, she lowered her voice slightly and said: "In addition, because the Secretary of General Affairs is responsible for communicating with subordinates, theoretically he can see the emperor often."

For others, this may be just theory, but for Jiao Shun, it is reality.

Now everyone was extremely happy again. Real power and non-real power were not as important to them as being able to see the emperor often.

Seeing this scene, Tanchun could only shake his head helplessly, as if he was casting his eyes on a blind man.

but……

Her eyes turned to Xue Baochai. Others didn't know the weight of this, but Sister Bao should have known it, but she acted even more indifferently than Mrs. Wang and others.

Could it be...

Thinking of his secret speculation, Tanchun couldn't help but sigh secretly. Sure enough, that enemy was the devil in Rongguo Mansion's destiny!

Mrs. Wang was happy for a while, then suddenly remembered that there was something important, so she hurriedly pulled Tanchun and asked: "What about the empress? Is there any progress now?!"

Tanchun shook his head: "I've never heard of this."

"Then Changqing..."

Mrs. Wang wanted to ask what Jiao Shun said, but then she thought, if Jiao Shun had any explanation, Tanchun would not claim that he had heard nothing.

Tanchun understood what she wanted to ask, but he replied that it was not what he was asking: "Brother Jiao just got a day off. Madam might as well go and ask him directly."

Although she lamented that Jiao Shun was the devil in Rong Guofu's life, her determination to fly into the flames was not less, but even greater than before.

After all, if it were not for Jiao Shun, how could she have entered the palace to take care of the prince? If she had not entered the palace to take care of the prince, how could she have been praised by the queen mother, empress and others for her performance in countering the rebellion?

So she didn't care at all about feeding the demon star more food to make the fire burn brighter.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she first glanced at Baochai secretly, and then said hesitantly: "Well, then I... I'll just go to Jiao's house for a walk in the evening. It just so happens that I haven't seen your aunt in a while. Baochai and I will go there tonight."

Chaidu is staying at Xue’s house.”

After saying that, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Baochai.

Xue Baochai just smiled faintly and seemed to have no reaction at all.

However, Mrs. Xing said not to be outdone: "Then I will also..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pulled by Youshi.

Mrs.

Who made Jiao Shun more prominent now?

The more prosperous he becomes, the more important the ranking of intimacy between women becomes.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had made her choice, Tanchun stood up and said: "Your Highness, you can't live without people. If the madam, eldest madam, and sisters-in-law don't have anything else to say, I will..."

"What's your hurry, sister?"

Youshi smiled and held her arm: "Now that King Zhongshun has been eliminated, is there anyone who dares to attack His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Li'er is such a reasonable person."

Tan Chun said helplessly: "But Princess Nan'an has just been taken home by the concubine. I have to deal with everything by myself inside and outside. She is even more tired than before."

But it turned out that Princess Nan'an was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard that her daughter had been pointed at gunpoint by the rebels. She ran to the Queen Mother and the Empress to complain, and finally took Princess Nan'an back to the palace as she wished.

Tanchun was quite envious of Princess Nan'an's strength, but if she were in the same position, she would never leave the palace at this time.

However, everyone has their own ambitions. The little princess was really frightened that day, and she was still in a state of disbelief when she came back. It might be more suitable for her to go home to recuperate earlier.

After hearing what Tanchun said, You couldn't keep her any longer, so Hui and Baochai sent her out of the side hall.

Seeing her take the oil-paper umbrella, and Tingting walking towards the main hall in a graceful and heroic manner, You couldn't help but sigh: "The third sister has been registered in the palace this time. If anyone wants to enter the palace in the future,

Maybe she and Xiangyun were the ones in charge of the matter."

After saying that, she seemed to have just come to her senses and hurriedly covered her mouth and said: "Look at me, sister, don't be offended. Even if Baoyu can no longer be an official, it will not be a problem to become a rich man in the future."

Xue Baochai shook his head slightly: "Time is destiny, you can't force it."

With that said, he turned around and headed back to the side hall.

Is this acceptance of fate?

Youshi Pianpianzui followed closely and returned to the palace.

The afternoon went by in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang inquired at the palace gate and heard that Jiao Shun had not left yet, so she thought of waiting for him to come out and go with her.

Naturally, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You can only take the first step.

Mrs. Wang and Baochai were not kept waiting for long. In about a quarter of an hour, Jiao walked out of Donghua Gate with his head held high.

Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse of Jiao Shun in the car and was about to tell Caixia to greet him when she suddenly saw a middle-aged eunuch blocking Jiao Shun's way. After saying something to him, he ordered someone to carry out a large box.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly changed her words and ordered several men to go to help. She also got off the carriage and stood beside the carriage waiting for Jiao Shun.

When Jiao Shun saw Mrs. Wang, he hurriedly handed the box to the servants of Rong Mansion to carry it. He strode forward and politely held his hands in his hands and asked: "Auntie, are you waiting for me here specially, or..."

Such tormenting enemies!

Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of resentment. He had a happy time in the meditation room that day, but he threw all the troubles on himself, which made him fearful, fearing that Baochai would not think about it and make things worse, but he was good at it and could still pretend to be a troublemaker.

With a sanctimonious face.

"Cough~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiao Shun hurriedly coughed.

Mrs. Wang woke up with a start and said hurriedly: "Of course I'm waiting for you - this is not the place to talk. Let's go to your house first."

Jiao Shun glanced at Baochai, who was standing behind him, and wondered if this was another door-to-door delivery?

But it’s hard to use it at home.

He was dirty at heart, but on the surface he was polite and courteous. He chatted with Mrs. Wang for a few words, and within a few moments they got on the carriage.

The whole journey was silent.

When they arrived at Jiao's house, Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai got off the carriage one after another, and saw Jiao Shun greeting the servants and moving the big box into the backyard.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but wonder: "What's in this?"

"I don't know either."

Jiao Shun shrugged and said, "Concubine Wu sent it to me when she was about to leave the palace. There was a seal on it, and she said she wanted me to open it as soon as I got home."
