When I woke up early in the morning, the temperature was a bit low.
Xiao Nianzhi was sitting in the carriage, holding a warm sesame cake in his hand, which could still 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 at the center of power in the capital, and it is far from the imperial city.
Therefore, the carriage drove slowly for a long time before arriving at the gate of the palace.
At this point, the carriage could no longer move forward. They needed to get off the carriage, click their thumbs, and then walk into the palace for the meeting place.
Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan were familiar with each other, as were Yujijiu from the academy, and several other doctors.
But North Korean and Chinese officials...
Many of them have only heard 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 were female officials working in the harem and the inner court, some of whom were 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 themselves are indeed outstanding, and they have the opportunity to go to the battlefield side by side with men!
Those people, on weekdays, are not called upon and do not need to go to court.
Therefore, in daily court meetings, female officials are not really seen.
Xiao Nianzhi is the first!
The other officials, luckily they didn't notice at first.
Now that I see someone, 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.
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 her was not only good-looking, but also had 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 a woman serving as an official is against the principles of the government. After seeing Xiao Nianzhi, they couldn't help but murmur 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 family!"
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 would be officials who had been in the court for many years and still couldn'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, what are you scolding her for?
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 was not willing to be wronged.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi responded innocently and loudly to the two elders' shouts: "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.
They probably didn't expect that the girl they looked down upon would react so quickly and refute them so quickly.
Moreover, they were pierced with red hearts, leaving them speechless.
say what?
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 make Xiao Nianzhi an official, they didn't say anything. Now, if they expressed this again, it would be suspected of being an afterthought and a quick tongue.
The two adults suppressed their blushes until their necks became thick, and 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, and finally they coughed a few times. They were choked by the cold morning wind, and they coughed uncomfortably for a long time before they 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.
Go quickly! ! !
At this time, these two words were the only words in the two elders' 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 is it a direct refutation?
Many people thought it was the former. After all, Xiao Nianzhi joined them as a woman. Many people subconsciously felt that the other party would definitely be cautious.
As a result, Xiao Nianzhi refuted.
Moreover, it was the kind that the two elders could not 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, okay, okay, Xiao Nianzhi is now a low-ranking official, and more often than not, he is regarded as a mascot.
If he really gets promoted, he becomes 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. Seeing that the two people were silenced, she continued to move forward quickly.
She didn't walk too fast, just keeping in line 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 would definitely not be able to enter the inner hall of the Great Chaohui.
I can only be 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!
