Xie Shuting stood aside, knowing very well that this was a very important step.
It also determined that once he took this step, there was no possibility of turning back.
The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. Xie Shuting took a deep breath and set out towards the center of the crowd. There was no way out, he just kept moving forward.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xie Shuting slowly appeared and took the imperial edict: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Finally, the dust settled in the minds of the ministers, and Xie Shuting officially took over the position of Shangshuling, in charge of documents and memorials, ranking above the six ministries.
When you step into this position, many things will naturally become out of your control. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
With so many pairs of eyes watching, Xie Shuting's every step was on everyone's heart.
If the third prince gains power, the situation in the DPRK and China will inevitably cause chaos, but most people still maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Xie Shuyi stood aside with an unknown smile on his face.
Su Qing had been waiting at the gate of the palace early, hoping that she would be the first person he saw after he returned to the palace with a promotion.
She hoped that she could give Xie Shuting enough encouragement and affirmation, and she wanted to give the care and attention that a wife should have.
Xie Shuting did indeed return to the palace with the support of the ministers.
Just when he stepped off the carriage and Su Qing noticed Xie Shuting's movements and was about to go out to greet him, she heard Lan Caiwei's voice.
"Your Majesty!" The voice was delicate and crisp, making people's skin crawl easily.
Xie Shuting said in a teasing tone: "Caiwei came here uninvited, what do you mean?"
"What the prince said, can't I come if nothing happens? I'm just here to congratulate you on becoming the minister!" Lan Caiwei tried her best to show a virtuous and virtuous appearance.
Su Qing hopes that Xie Shuting can show a sense of boundaries as a husband.
She felt like there was a thorn stuck in her heart. She was very uncomfortable, but she couldn't resolve it. I couldn't pull it out, so I felt uncomfortable in my heart and could only endure it forcefully.
But Xie Shuting laughed loudly: "Caiwei's information is quite good."
Su Qing's step forward stopped again, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart. I was afraid that what Xie Shuting wanted to see most now was Lan Caiwei, not Su Qing.
Su Qing was even worried that she would be humiliating herself if she took the initiative to go.
There was a voice inside encouraging her, but there was also a voice stopping her.
She never knew what Xie Shuting was thinking, so she could only make random guesses.
Xiaoqing looked at Su Qing with worried eyes. She was worried that her wife would be hit and unable to recover.
But Su Qing took a deep breath, she was the one to do it all over again! Isn't it just being left out? Is there anything you can’t bear?
So she appeared openly in the sights of Lan Caiwei and Xie Shuting.
Lan Caiwei had long known about Su Qing's waiting and expectations, and she just wanted to give Su Qing a big blow.
Xie Shuting was hers, and could only be hers. Su Qing's appearance gave Lan Caiwei a great sense of crisis, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
She confidently said to Xie Shuting: "Your Majesty, please lower your head."
Xie Shuting lowered his head without hesitation.
Lan Caiwei flicked Xie Shuting's forehead: "Your Majesty, you must be diligent in your political affairs and don't let others catch you easily."
"Does Caiwei care about me?" Xie Shuting said with a smile.
The indulgent smile on Xie Shuting's face shocked Amelia Su. He should have noticed Su Qing standing aside, which showed that he didn't value her at all and just regarded her as a dispensable existence.
Su Qing bit her lower lip tightly. Regardless of whether Xie Shuting was pretending or sincere, this scene still hurt her.
But compared to the pain of exile in the previous life, these pains are nothing.
It was the moral code for a man to have three wives and four concubines. She could not ask Xie Shuting to keep her alone. Now that Xie Shuting had successfully participated in government affairs, her merits were considered complete.
Su Qing came to the two of them with brisk steps: "Welcome the prince back to the house, everyone is waiting..."
She can accept three wives and four concubines, but she can't accept Lan Caiwei!
When Lan Caiwei heard Su Qing's intention of seeing off the guests, her heart instantly started to itch with hatred, but she couldn't break out: "Sister Su, you shouldn't mind if I come into the house to congratulate you!"
Lan Caiwei thought, no matter what, Amelia Su would sell her this favor?
But Su Qing politely refused: "Lunch was not prepared for Miss Lan in advance. If Miss Lan goes back late, I'm afraid the prince will be worried."
Su Qing made a pun. She did not welcome Lan Caiwei, and she was from the prince's camp, so it was not convenient for her to be too close to Xie Shuting.
Hearing Su Qing's reply, Xie Shuting looked at her thoughtfully: "Caiwei, Madam is thinking of you, so please go back first."
Lan Caiwei was furious: "In that case, Your Majesty, I will leave first."
Su Qing watched Lan Caiwei die down, knowing that she had won another round, she felt secretly happy, so facing up to the difficulties would still bring unexpected surprises.
"Your Majesty, I understand that you and Miss Lan are childhood sweethearts and have an unusual friendship, but people outside are very discerning, so you still need to pay attention to your sense of propriety." Su Qing reminded patiently.
Xie Shuting could hear the implication of Su Qing's words, his eyes were dark and unclear.
Ordinary women would quarrel long ago when they see their husbands fighting with other women, but Su Qing looked calm and self-possessed, quite like a matron of the house.
Xie Shuting was surprised that he would have such an idea, and then he and Su Qing went inside to have lunch.
Su Qing's recruitment operation is in full swing, and after some screening, a group of candidates have finally been selected.
Since you want to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing to attract customers, you must have good looks and be young at the same time.
Looking at these young and energetic faces, Su Qing felt a sense of accomplishment: "I will teach you my skills. You must learn hard, otherwise you will not be able to enter the restaurant to perform, and naturally you will not get generous rewards."
"I know, boss!" the children replied crisply, and Su Qing was very pleased.
The next step was to find the location where Tang Qiunan and Zhou Zheng decided to build the restaurant.
"The best location is at a cross street. There is a lot of traffic here and it can attract many customers." Tang Qiunan analyzed.
"Qiu Nan's idea is correct. Choosing someone with good Feng Shui is also a good start." Su Qing replied.
Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered a poem: "The restaurants in the city are as high as the sky, and the dragons and phoenixes are cooked to taste fat and delicious. Gongsun dismounts and smells the fragrance and gets drunk. He does not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of dollars on one drink. To attract distinguished guests and wise men. Upstairs, there are music and orchestral music." All kinds of art treasures are displayed, and there are colorful painted eaves on all sides."
Zhou Zheng's poem expressed his expectations for the future of the restaurant, which made Su Qing and Tang Qiunan's blood boil.
"If we can really make the restaurant like this, I will fall asleep with a smile on my face." Su Qing's words made Tang Qiunan laugh.
"Don't worry Qing'er, with us here, it will definitely come true!" Tang Qiunan was confident.
