Chen Qing got on the carriage and was about to drive the carriage back to Jingnan Palace. Over there, Prince Xin'an saw off the carriage from the palace and came over and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
In the carriage, Su Tang was confused by the congratulations. She opened the curtain and looked at Prince Xin'an, "Where does the joy come from?"
The prince of Xin'an County waved his folding fan and said, "The father-in-law just went to the palace to announce the decree. The emperor made an exception and promoted my uncle to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
It was indeed an exception for Su Hongshan to sit down from being a virgin to the position of minister of the Ministry of Justice, but it was not a precedent. In all dynasties, there were people with high moral character and respect, who were well-known and had never served as officials in the court. The court appointed people on their merits and allowed them to be high-ranking officials.
It's just that her father is so respected...it seems a bit far away.
Su Tang looked at Xie Boting and saw that his expression was as usual, she said, "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Xie Boting smiled and said, "I believe that the old prince and my father jointly recommend my father-in-law. In addition, you have saved the emperor. I have never doubted that the position of right minister of the Ministry of Punishment will not be in my father-in-law's pocket."
Xie Boting still remembered the shocked look on the emperor's face when he told the emperor that it was Mr. Yun San who his father-in-law wanted Su Tang to rescue. He knew that if Su Hongshan asked for something in the future, the emperor would certainly grant it.
After all, compared with the title of Prince Xin, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice is not worth mentioning, let alone a small minister of the Ministry of Justice, which is not a matter of a word.
It's just that as an emperor, you can't be too arbitrary. You have to take into account the feelings of the civil and military officials. It only lasted a few days. If it hadn't been delayed by the Queen Mother's poisoning, Su Hongshan would have taken office by now.
Su Tang was happy that his father got his wish, but when he thought about the three masters and his wife, Su Tang was not only happy, but also felt unusually heavy.
In order to compete for the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xie Wei returned all the jade bracelets she gave to Prince Zhao's house, and also tried to win over all parties. The gifts were all real money. Even in order to please the Queen Mother, the old lady did not hesitate to give herself
It was poisoned, and now the flowers have fallen into the hands of her father. The old lady has been in pain for so many days, and the poison has not been cured yet. The water in the bamboo basket has been empty, so she can't help but gnash her teeth in hatred.
Thinking of this, Su Tang's head hurt and he raised his hand to rub his temples.
Xie Boting hugged Su Tang and said, "It's not a big deal. Anyway, the relationship will not be better if this happens or not."
Su Tang, "..."
Is this guy comforting her or adding fuel to the fire?
But what Xie Boting said was right. It was like this anyway. She couldn't let her father give up just to make them happy. In officialdom battles, everyone depends on their own abilities. If you can't fight, just hold it back.
After returning to Jingnan Palace, Su Tang and Xie Boting had just entered the palace when Manager Zhao came over. Su Tang guessed that the third master was looking for them again, but this time she guessed wrong. Manager Zhao said, "The eldest young master is back, just now
The princess sent a message, asking the eldest young master to meet her after you return to the house."
She didn't know what the princess wanted from Xie Boting, so Su Tang said, "Then go quickly."
Xie Boting held Su Tang's hand and said, "You go with me."
Su Tang didn't want to go. The princess knew that she and Xie Boting were going to Prince Xin's Mansion together, so she only asked Xie Boting to see her, explaining that she didn't need to go. What was she going to do if she had nothing to do? Su Tang said, "My sprained foot is not completely injured yet."
Okay..."
Before he finished speaking, the person was picked up.
Su Tang, "...!!!"
Xie Boting carried Su Tang down the steps with a smile in his eyes, "If you want me to hold you for my husband, just say so. There's no need to be so tactful."
She didn't mean that, okay?
She just doesn't want to join in the fun!
Amid the envy of all the maids and servants, Su Tang was carried into the inner courtyard by Xie Boting, walked through the garden, and arrived in front of the Tianxiang Courtyard.
This is the limit that Su Tang can accept. If she doesn't let her down, she will poison Xie Boting.
Xie Boting knew that Su Tang was thin-skinned, especially when he was misunderstood by his mother and concubine last time, so he put Su Tang down. Su Tang threatened in a low voice, "Don't hold me and walk without my permission in the future!"
Xie Boting raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say, madam? Please speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."
Su Tang reached out and pinched his waist. The pain made Xie Boting's forehead tremble. He quickly held Su Tang's hand and led her into the yard. This chapter has been completed!
