When I woke up early in the morning, the temperature was a bit low.
Xiao Nianzhi was sitting in the carriage, holding warm sesame cakes in her hands, which still allowed her to regain some warmth.
As the carriage set off with a swaying motion, Xiao Nianzhi also took out the sesame cake and took a small bite.
Aunt Qin added white sesame seeds and a small amount of salt for seasoning, so the baked cake still tastes very good. Even if it is not eaten with vegetables, you will not feel choked.
Xiao Nianzhi took a small bite and slowly counted the hours.
The Xiao Mansion is not located at the center of power in the capital, and is far from the imperial city.
Therefore, the carriage drove slowly for a long time before arriving at the palace gate.
At this point, the carriage can no longer move forward. They need to get off the carriage, click their thumbs, and then walk into the palace where the meeting will take place.
Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan were familiar with each other, as were Yujijiu from the academy, and several doctors, etc.
But officials from North Korea and China...
Many of them have only heard of their names but have never met them.
Therefore, after getting off the carriage and looking at the officials walking forward quickly, Xiao Nianzhi didn't recognize any of them.
There was no need to say hello or exchange pleasantries. After Xiao Nianzhi simply tidied up his court clothes, he followed everyone forward.
As soon as she left, she attracted a lot of attention.
After all, she is the only female official in the imperial court now!
In fact, this is not particularly accurate. She should be the first female official to go to court with her.
After all, there are female officials working in the harem and the inner court, and some of them are of high rank.
There are also sassy female officers and soldiers in the army. Although most of them are the descendants of generals, generals, generals, and garrison officers, it cannot be denied that they are indeed excellent themselves, and they have the opportunity to go to the battlefield side by side with men!
Those people, on weekdays, do not need to go to court unless summoned.
Therefore, in daily court meetings, you really don’t see female officials.
Xiao Nianzhi is the first!
It's a good thing that other officials didn't notice at first.
Now that I see people, I can’t help but turn my head to look.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but exclaim: What a pretty girl!
Especially those eyes, which are actually quite common in the capital, but many people feel that these eyes look particularly different on Xiao Nianzhi's face.
It seems more energetic, or energetic?
Those people couldn't figure out for a while what kind of charm this was.
However, they have to admit that this female official who went to court with them is beautiful and very capable!
I would like to ask, how many of the high-ranking dignitaries in Beijing have not ordered glass from the royal family?
Your Majesty has already collected a lot of money just from the deposit!
And who improved glass?
Xiao Nianzhi.
Who restored the previous method of making ice?
Xiao Nianzhi.
Who researched the useful farm tools for this autumn harvest?
Xiao Nianzhi.
……
This girl, who was amazed when they first met, not only looks great, but also has amazing abilities.
These people looked at them calmly, but their steps did not stop.
Of course, there are also many corrupt officials who feel that women serving as officials are against the rules of the court. After seeing Xiao Nianzhi, they couldn't help but talk about it.
There were even two old men with white beards who deliberately avoided Xiao Nianzhi when they passed by. They shouted angrily without any concealment: "Young chicken Si Chen, you are the only one who has the power of home!" Xiao Nianzhi could imagine that when he went to court, many officials would most likely break through the defenses.
However, I didn’t expect that there are officials who have been in the government for many years and still can’t learn to be diplomatic.
Should we say they are good or bad?
Xiao Nianzhi felt that the official was appointed by the emperor, and as a weak woman, she had no power to refute, right?
So, why are you scolding her?
She was not happy after hearing this.
Moreover, Yan Xingxuan said before that if someone bullies her, just go ahead and ignore them.
Thinking of Yan Xingxuan's support, Xiao Nianzhi is not willing to be wronged.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi responded innocently and loudly to the two elders’ shouting: “Your Majesty made me an official.”
The unfinished meaning of the words is naturally: The official was appointed by His Majesty. Now that you are saying this, is it possible that you think His Majesty made the wrong decision?
You are questioning His Majesty!
The two elders, who were still angry and glaring at each other, froze after hearing what Xiao Nianzhi said.
Perhaps they didn't expect that the girl they looked down upon would react so quickly and refute them so quickly.
Moreover, they are piercing red hearts so that they can no longer say anything.
What to say?
To say too much is to question His Majesty and to be dissatisfied with His Majesty.
Although this is indeed the case, do they dare to show it or say it?
At the beginning, when His Majesty wanted to appoint Xiao Nianzhi as an official, they didn't say anything. Now if they expressed this again, they would inevitably be suspected of being an afterthought and a quick tongue.
The two adults suppressed their blushes until their necks became thick, but they could not think of a suitable retort.
Then they watched Xiao Nianzhi helplessly, walking forward quickly with an indifferent expression, following the flow.
The two adults were angry and embarrassed. Finally, they coughed a few times and were choked by the cold morning wind. They coughed uncomfortably and then stopped.
After stopping, another thing came to mind.
No, if they don’t leave quickly, with their current legs and feet, they might be late!
Being late will be recorded in the book. If His Majesty is in a bad mood, he will definitely deal with them.
Let’s go!!!
At this time, the two elders only had these two words in their minds, and they no longer cared about what was going on with Xiao Nianzhi.
What the two elders said just now was actually observed secretly by many people.
Some simply want to watch the fun, while others want to secretly observe how this capable girl will react to such questions or criticisms?
Is it an aggrieved acceptance, or a direct refutation?
Many people think it is the former. After all, Xiao Nianzhi joins them as a woman. Many people subconsciously feel that the other party will definitely be cautious.
As a result, Xiao Nianzhi refuted.
Moreover, it is still the kind that the two elders cannot even refute.
Oops!
This girl is not simple!
And this person is now their colleague.
Many adults who were watching the excitement secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Fortunately, fortunately, Xiao Nianzhi now has a low official rank and is more often regarded as a mascot.
If I really get promoted, I will become a colleague with her...
Many people can't help but press their heads when they think of this possibility or the future.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't have so many ideas. When she saw that the two of them had been beaten into silence, she continued to move forward quickly.
She didn't walk too fast, just keeping pace with the flow.
The kind that doesn’t stand out, doesn’t lag behind, is mediocre and doesn’t attract attention.
As a seventh-grade official, Xiao Nianzhi will definitely not be able to enter the inner hall of the Great Chaohui.
I can only stay in the outer hall. I should be lucky that it’s not cold today.
Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but have a headache when he thought about having to stand here when the winter wind was biting.
Therefore, working within the system is actually not that easy!
