"...a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy..."
In the empty hall, Chen Huang's voice was still echoing. Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, stood there blankly, with an expression of disbelief.
Hanlin Xiuzhuan was an official of the sixth rank, and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy were both from the official position of the fifth rank. Although he was named a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, he was promoted as an exception in order to let him serve as a wedding messenger, but this also means that
So, when he comes back from Chu, no matter which department he goes to, his official position will not be lower than the fifth rank.
From the time he passed the Jinshi examination to the present, it only took one year to move from a virtual position of the sixth grade to a real position of the fifth grade. If calculated carefully, it only took half a year from the time he joined the Hanlin Academy to the present.
You must know that being a new Jinshi requires qualifications, and promotion is particularly difficult. In the past, he was ranked second in the first class, and climbed step by step to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Rites. It took him a full ten years...
It's getting worse every ten years, which is really sad to think about.
However, his doctor of the Ministry of Rites is only a temporary substitute. In the past few months, he doesn't know what will happen. For now, he only needs to follow the instructions of the Master and send this person away.
…
Changning Palace.
A palace maid looked at the female officer in front of her pleadingly and said: "Cui Shangyi, please let the princess rest. The princess has been practicing for a day..."
The middle-aged female officer looked at her and said coldly: "If the princess doesn't learn palace etiquette well, she will be ridiculed when she arrives in the Chu Kingdom. How will the royal family's face be saved by then?"
She looked forward at the young girl who was biting her lower lip and moving with difficulty, and said: "Your Highness, time is urgent. Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette will come tomorrow. I will have to learn more by then. Could you please practice a few more times...
"
The girl's ankles were worn out, but she didn't care. Her eyes were just a little confused. Only when she looked up at the clear blue sky outside the palace, the light would occasionally shine.
…
Tang Huai would eventually think of letting him be the wedding messenger, which was what Tang Ning expected. As for Emperor Chen's promotion of him by two ranks and directly let him take the position of doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, it was something Tang Ning did not expect.
According to common sense, when he returns from Chu and returns to the court, it will be a new starting point.
He doesn't have any special feelings about the promotion of official rank, but Xiao Ru's rank can now be promoted from the sixth-grade imperial decree to the fifth-grade imperial decree, which is another gain.
While eating, Chen Yuxian looked at him worriedly and asked: "Your Majesty, how could you think of letting you be the wedding messenger? Chu State is so far away, and this trip will probably take at least half a year.
If we delay it for a while longer, I don’t know if I can come back this year..."
Zhong Mingli put down his chopsticks and said: "This is also a kind of experience for him by Your Majesty. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. He is sent to Chu as a wedding envoy. When he comes back, he will be more knowledgeable than the wedding envoy."
Officials in the DPRK and the Central Government would not have any objections to his status rising by two levels. Otherwise, it will take at least five years for him to go from the sixth rank to the fifth rank."
Chen Yuxian thought of something and suddenly said: "So, Ning'er is now at the fifth level, only half a level lower than you?"
Zhong Mingli coughed awkwardly, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating.
It took him nearly twenty years to reach his current position from a county magistrate from another state, but Tangning's promotion was as casual as eating and drinking. As the father-in-law, he couldn't help but feel a little hot.
What made him even more angry was that he was able to sit in the position of Ping'an County Magistrate because of his son-in-law...
Whether it was being designated as a wedding messenger or being promoted to two levels in a row, it was something worth celebrating. After the family banquet, when Tang Ning returned to the courtyard, she saw Tang Yaoyao sitting on the wall.
The time has just entered February, and the afternoon breeze is no longer so cold, with a little warmth that a spring breeze should have.
Tang Yaoyao was sitting on the wall in a daze. The setting sun was right behind her. Her hair was ruffled by the breeze and dyed golden by the light coming from behind.
"Hello!"
Tangning walked to the yard and shouted to her.
Tang Yaoyao shook her body, obviously frightened by him, jumped down from the wall, and said angrily: "You are going to die!"
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Why are you so dazed?"
Spring is here, the cats outside are meowing more cheerfully, and even Tang Yaoyao is different from before.
Tang Yaoyao did not answer his question and asked: "Are you going to Chu State?"
Tang Ning explained: "This is the court's arrangement, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"Xiaoyi told me everything." Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "You went there for the princess."
"When a friend is in trouble, you have a duty." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Last time you were forced to get married, I didn't help you find a way. If your father forces you again in the future, and you still come to me, I guarantee that the entire Chen Kingdom will not be able to help you."
No one dares to marry you."
As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. Tang Ning felt that she was a bit of a loser for doing things that ruined people's marriages. This time, in addition to sending wedding envoys, according to the court arrangement, she also helped Prince Kang propose marriage.
, who is Miss Li? She is extremely talented and beautiful, and is both civil and military. Does Prince Kang deserve to be a idiot like him?
He should wait until he arrives in Chu State to discuss this matter with her in person.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked: "Just because of the princess, don't you want to meet Li Tianlan?"
"To be honest, I still want to meet her..." After all, I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Tang Ning said sincerely, looked at Tang Yaoyao, and said: "Of course, I will go to Chu State this time.
I will miss you..."
"Who cares!"
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and flew back to her yard on the stone table.
Tangning looked down and found that there were already a few cracks on the edge of the stone table, and murmured: "Just jump over the wall, what kind of secret power do you use..."
Separated by a wall, Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard, took out a folded piece of paper from his purse, and opened it.
There is a signature written on the paper.
"It's like a phoenix going to Qin Tower, and a cloud gathering around Wu Mountain."
She crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "What a broken sign!"
She walked toward her room angrily, walked halfway, then turned back, picked up the paper ball on the ground, smoothed the wrinkles, folded them again, and put them into her purse again...
…
Ministry of Rites.
After officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the Yamen in the morning, they received two pieces of news immediately.
The position of the princess's wedding envoy was held by the newly arrived Chief Tang. In order to match his official position with his status as the wedding envoy, His Majesty directly promoted him to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and he suddenly became the third person in the Ministry of Rites.
Among the three wedding messengers previously designated by the Ministry of Rites, one suddenly fell ill, one was arrested and imprisoned, and the other was hit by a carriage in front of his house and was seriously injured. The three words "wedding messenger" have become equated with broom stars in the Ministry of Rites.
Now that the broom star meets the broom star, who knows what kind of sparks will collide. Many people in the Ministry of Etiquette are waiting to see.
Although Tang Ning is already the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, the affairs of the Host and Guest Department have been more busy recently. As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Etiquette, the Host and Guest Officer knocked on the door and walked in. He bowed and said, "Master Tang, the preliminary etiquette regulations have been drawn up by the Host and Guest Department."
Yes, I need you to go into the palace and hand over to the female officer of the princess palace. If there is anything wrong, we can discuss it later..."
Tangning nodded and said, "Let it go."
Changning Palace.
The little palace maid sat by the bed, shedding tears while applying medicine to Zhao Man. Looking at her worn ankle, she said angrily: "Your Highness, Cui Shangyi is so bad. Last time she beat and scolded the palace maid and was punished by the princess. She
This time it was intentional, let’s tell His Majesty!”
The girl frowned slightly because of the pain, but she still shook her head and said: "No need, anyway, I won't be able to see her in a few days..."
The little palace maid lowered her head, then quickly raised it again and said, "Princess, can I accompany you for a walk outside in a while..."
"I won't go. I have walked the road to the palace many, many times." The girl shook her head, as if she was not interested in anything.
Two figures walked in from the outside, and a female official stood outside the curtain and said: "Your Highness, the people from the Ministry of Etiquette are already here. Mr. Tang, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette who was chosen by Your Majesty as the wedding messenger, came to discuss the etiquette regulations.
Princess……"
"Lord Tang..." Inside the curtain, the girl's energy perked up slightly, but then quickly fell down, and she murmured: "Mr. of the Ministry of Rites..."
She interrupted the female officer's words across the curtain, looked at the figure, and said, "Let him discuss it with Cui Shangyi. I'm a little tired. You can go out first."
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, take a good rest. I will take my leave."
Hearing the familiar voice, the girl's body trembled and she jumped out of the bed barefoot. When Tangning raised her head, she saw a head sticking out from behind the curtain.
