Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

News spread quickly in the capital, and the next day, news spread that Dong Jingtang had arrived in Beijing to take up his post.

After the court that day, officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate gathered together and discussed visiting Shangfeng.

There was a heated discussion here, but Cui Qiyan was the only one who was handling official duties as usual.

Someone asked: "Master Cui, don't you plan to visit Master Dong?"

Cui Qiyan didn't even raise his head, "I will naturally see Mr. Dong when he comes to court."

"How can it be the same? Mr. Dong is our superior, and it is our first time to come to the capital. We should go and pay a visit, so that Mr. Dong can get to know us in advance."

"That's not necessary." Cui Qiyan said calmly.

Another person laughed and said: "How can Mr. Cui be like us? Mr. Cui is the heir apparent of Dingguo Palace, so naturally he disdains these social events."

"That's right, let's go do it. What do you think Mr. Dong likes, and what gifts should he bring?"

"Who knows, in short, the things you give should not be too expensive or too light. I heard that our Mr. Dong is an honest and upright official, and he has offended many people because of it. He was framed and his family was exiled to Mobei for three years. If If the Holy Emperor had not ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and reversed Lord Dong's case, their family would have died in Mobei."

"Didn't you say that Mr. Dong's only daughter died on the way to Mobei?"

Several people on the side were talking louder and louder. Cui Qiyan couldn't bear the disturbance, so he took the official document and got up and walked out.

I just heard the other side saying, "You don't know yet, but I heard that Mr. Dong's daughter is not dead and has been found again..."

After Cui Qiyan came out, he rode back to his house.

Halfway through, someone caught up with me.

"You'an, some days

Missed you. "Jiang Ting drove his horse to ride alongside him, "The deputy imperial envoy of your capital procuratorate has come to Beijing to take office. Aren't you going to pay a visit? "

Cui Qiyan turned around and said, "Do you even know about this?"

"We've been talking about it this morning, how can I not know about it. Hey, are you going or not?"

Cui Qiyan withdrew his gaze and looked forward, "When have you ever seen me join in such fun?"

"That's different. This is your top position. You have to show it."

"Why have you learned this useless thing about officialdom? It's exactly the same as what those people said." Cui Qiyan frowned.

Jiang Ting was delighted, "When you are in an officialdom, you naturally have to learn some of the rules. Others say this, which further proves that it is right. You can still go your own way."

Seeing that Cui Qiyan didn't answer, Jiang Ting continued: "I heard that Mr. Dong had a daughter who died on the road to exile. Mr. Dong suddenly found her after he was avenged. It's really a blessing. "

"Why are you telling me these things? What does this matter have to do with me?" Cui Qiyan was a little impatient. Why could he hear these irrelevant things wherever he went?

"Aren't you curious? I also heard that this Miss Dong has a good appearance..."

Cui Qiyan couldn't bear it anymore, "Who did you listen to, and you even asked about this? Don't forget that you are about to be a father, so stop using your evil thoughts."

"Where are you thinking," Jiang Ting quickly explained, "I'm not all thinking about you, are you still thinking about Yunling? It's been more than half a year, have you found any clues about her? You should too Let it go, and dragging it on like this is not an option."

Cui Qiyan glanced at him and said, "You don't need to do this for me."

Thinking about it, I will never give up looking for Yunling. "

"When are you going to find it?" Jiang Ting said seriously with a smile.

"Until we find her."

"Then if you can't find one for the rest of your life, why don't you stay unmarried for the rest of your life?"

Cui Qiyan's heart froze, "Da Yin is so big, I don't believe I can't find her in my life."

Jiang Ting shook his head after hearing this, "I think you are really crazy."

In the next two days, the Dong family was full of people. Dong Jingtang was tired of receiving visitors.

In the evening, Xu Yiwan showed him the gift list.

Dong Jingtang took the long gift list and frowned more deeply as he looked back.

"How come there are so many valuable things?"

"Yes, the capital city is indeed not comparable to Yingzhou." Xu Yiwan said at a loss, "Doesn't it matter if we accept these things?"

Dong Jingtang was silent for a moment, "You ask Butler Sun to remove the names on this and copy it again. When I go to see the Holy One tomorrow, I will present the gift list and leave those things intact, waiting for His Majesty's decision."

Xu Yiwan nodded, "Yes, we are new here, so we really shouldn't be too ostentatious. It's better to be cautious."

"I'm going to tell Butler Sun right now." Xu Yiwan hurried out with the gift list.

Dong Jingtang got up early before dawn.

Xu Yiwan dressed him in official uniform and sent him out.

After the early court, the emperor announced Dong Jingtang to the imperial study.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

"Dong Aiqing, please rise." The emperor said kindly, "Is Aiqing getting used to living in the capital?"

"Thank you for the house, your majesty. I'm afraid." Dong Jingtang straightened up.

"According to the report from the deputy commander of the Expert Division, Mr. Dong's beloved daughter survived the disaster and returned to the

It's really gratifying to see you and your wife reunited as a family. "

Dong Jingtang bowed and said: "The humble minister was able to find my daughter only because of His Majesty's grace."

"Dong Aiqing said something wrong. This is a blessing for your family."

"I have one more thing to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Dong Jingtang took out the gift list and said, "This is a congratulatory gift given to me by my colleagues in the DPRK after I came to Beijing. The things were valuable, and I didn't dare to accept them, and I was afraid of hurting my colleagues' feelings, so I recorded them in a book and asked your Majesty to deal with them." "

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "Don't read it. Dong Aiqing doesn't need to be too nervous. This is a normal exchange between you and your loved ones. Just accept it with peace of mind. In the future, if there is a happy event in someone else's house, your family will also send congratulatory gifts." of."

"This...Wei Chen understands." Dong Jingtang put down his hands.

"Okay, Dong Aiqing, let's go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and get familiar with the environment."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

After Dong Jingtang left the Imperial Study Room, he followed his instructions and came to the location of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Most of the people here have met him before, and they all greeted him when they saw him coming. Dong Jingtang returned the greetings one by one, and finally walked inside to see the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Mr. Cheng, the censor of Zuodu, is over sixty years old. "You don't need to be polite, Mr. Dong. I know your affairs and admire you very much. We are very happy that you can come to our capital inspection court."

"Thank you for your support, Master Cheng. I feel ashamed to be a lower-ranking official."

Cui Qiyan stood aside, "Cui Qiyan, the censor of the lower official, has met Mr. Dong."

Dong Jingtang turned around and was slightly startled when he saw him. This man seemed to be only as old as his eldest son. It was really not easy for him to be a full-fifth official at such a young age. No

However, this person did not go to their home with others.

Master Cheng smiled and introduced: "Master Dong doesn't know something. This Master Xiao Cui is a promising talent in our imperial court. He is both civil and military. He is highly valued by His Majesty. He is also the eldest son of Duke Ding."

Dong Jingtang was surprised after hearing this, "Master Cui is so young and promising, it is really a blessing for Yin."

It is very commendable that this person is of noble birth, but he is willing to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do this thankless job.

"I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official." Cui Qiyan replied.
