Of course, not everyone ignored her. He also met an acquaintance. This person was the person who had been taking the exam for the Heavenly Ranking. She was the number one and this person was the second.
Qin Chuan, who was also Mo Zixu's staff and was full of bookishness, was left in Kyoto to serve as an imperial scholar and entered the center of power early.
"Mr. Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your political achievements are really surprising." Qin Chuan looked like a scholar even in official uniform.
"The errands outside are simply not done by human beings. They are no better than Master Qin, an official from the capital." Mu Qianyu smiled and greeted.
While the two of them were talking, a man in his early twenties walked in at a leisurely pace next to him. He didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see the two of them.
Mu Qianyu saw the man's side face, and he saw it on the day of the Tianbang literary test, but he walked over just as he wanted to say hello.
"What is this man's name?" she asked Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan seemed not to be surprised and said: "This is Master Haishi Minghai, who is also the most popular person on the Tianbang list. He is the general's favorite disciple, and he is also the current crown prince of the East Palace."
"No wonder he is so high-spirited. I, a small frontier official, really can't compare." Mu Qianyu smiled and walked out.
Qin Chuan nodded slightly, but he was not gossiping at all.
The two of them said goodbye to each other after leaving the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mu Qianyu returned home alone. In the past, when she was in Anping Mansion, she had sole power over the military and political affairs.
There is some gap.
Moreover, these people didn't want to see her, which made her even more uncomfortable.
She did not go out for a while, but asked Qi Ling to help her prepare a gift for Longevity Day. If anyone in the entire dynasty had the thickest thighs, it must be the emperor. If you please the emperor, why not worry about getting promoted.
In her eagerness to be promoted, she asked Qi Ling to refine a seventh-level Yuan-Puiling Pill, which could strengthen the foundation and cultivate the Yuan. The capital would prolong life, and cultivating the Yuan would increase the cultivation level, and its purity would reach a super-grade level.
It can be said that this elixir does not exist on the market today, nor can it be refined by top alchemists at this stage. It is no exaggeration to say it is a treasure.
As for Mu Qianyu, she just spent a sum of money to buy the elixir. Although it was a bit expensive, she still worked hard for her promotion and longevity.
Time flies and the day of the palace banquet arrives. Everyone is celebrating the Longevity Festival, and the palace is brightly lit and very lively.
Mu Qianyu thought about taking her daughter out to play, but her official position did not allow her to bring family members, so she could only leave Xiaoruo to protect her daughter, while she took Mo Feng to the banquet.
Mo Feng didn't expect that he would be able to enter the palace one day. It was a little strange and awkward for a while. After all, he was used to being a bandit, so he still felt guilty coming here.
Once someone recognizes him, his head may be left here, and Mu Qianyu will be implicated.
But Mu Qianyu said that he would have to appear in front of people more often in the future, and it was a good thing to get used to it now. The two of them walked in the long corridor, and the people around them were exchanging pleasantries and chatting, but no one paid attention to her.
Mo Feng looked strange and whispered: "Sir, it stands to reason that you have been summoned to worship as an exception. It is obvious that you are the new rich this year. These people should make friends with you."
"Maybe there was a little conflict." Mu Qianyu touched his nose and said.
Only then did Mo Feng think of King An, which was not surprising. After all, King An was a relative of the powerful emperor, and no one wanted to offend them because of Mu Qianyu.
Mu Qianyu was the second to last petty official at this banquet, so his seat was also the penultimate at the end. The penultimate seat was Cai Dayan, the only seventh-grade sesame petty officer.
Mu Qianyu was very relieved to see that he was not the last one, while Cai Dayan was very unhappy because he was beaten by Mu Qianyu.
This is an open space outside the Wenhua Hall, a place specially used to hold huge banquets. Officials began to arrive one after another, and everyone had to pass by where Mu Qianyu was sitting.
A man in rich clothes stopped when he was about to pass by. He turned his head and looked around. When he saw Mu Qianyu, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mu Qianyu, why are you everywhere?"
The speaker was Mo Zixu, the young marquis who once teased Xiao Ruo in Kyoto and had a grudge against Mu Qianyu. Qin Chuan was also following behind him.
Mu Qianyu stood up and said with a smile: "Master Hou, long time no see."
When Mo Zixu saw her, he could think of his leg that was broken by Beichen Ye, and he immediately gritted his teeth and wanted to curse: "You..."
"Master Hou." Qin Chuan behind him said at the right time: "The banquet will start soon. Master Hou, it's better to sit down early."
"Qin Chuan, why do you help her when something happens?" Mo Zixu turned back angrily.
"Of course I do it for the good of the Marquis." Qin Chuan said sincerely.
Mo Zixu could only wave his sleeves and said: "That's it, whatever you say is what it is, let her go for now."
Before the two left, Qin Chuan bowed slightly and apologized to Mu Qianyu.
Mu Qianyu didn't care about it for his sake, and returned a kind smile.
And then she felt that she knew a lot of people. Prince An and the Crown Prince glanced at her when they passed by her. The Imperial Preceptor nodded to her when he brought Nangong Zhi to the meeting. The General and Leng Xinyue also did it for the first time.
He snorted at her.
The general reprimanded his daughter and gave a friendly gesture to Mu Qianyu. He had wanted the number one scholar on the Heavenly Ranking to teach his daughter well, and he has not given up on this idea now.
Prime Minister Ji Lin did not say hello to her, mainly because he had made an agreement with Mu Qianyu before to pretend that they did not know each other and that there would be no trouble for either of them.
After all the officials sat down, they started chatting, and the topic focused on the quota for the Taixu Secret Realm.
"I heard that the competition for quotas this year is very fierce. In recent years, the younger generation of Daxuan has been full of talents. I think the emperor is also worried about coming."
"I have news that the emperor has given the quota to Prince An and the young marquis..."
"I also heard that the position of national teacher was given to his daughter, Miss Nangong."
"What about the general's quota? Should it be given to my daughter or to my disciple Hai Shiming?"
"I don't know. I heard that the threshold of the Prime Minister's family has been stepped down in the past few days, but I haven't heard any news about who the Prime Minister likes?"
"The emperor will announce the specific candidates tonight. There are no differences among the others. Let's see who the prime minister chooses. I think he will become the younger generation that everyone is looking for."
People's comments reached Mu Qianyu's ears. She was a little surprised, but she didn't expect this matter to be such a sensation.
It sounded like this had become a must-have for the younger generation. She began to wonder, once this was announced, would people be convinced by her?
"Mr. Mu, don't think about it. This matter will never be your turn." Cai Dayan said at the side.
