After suppressing his cluttered thoughts, Pei Jiaoran folded his sleeves and bowed, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Although it may not be of any benefit to her to join the political affairs hall at this time, she cannot refuse Jun's favor.

After hearing her words, Emperor Wei stopped talking. With a tired look on his face, he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, leaving only Zhang to wait on him.

The prince took the lead, while Pei Jiaoran walked slowly behind the three princes. The rain stopped when we came out, but the cold and dampness still lingered on the double-eaves ridge.

Everyone bowed and sent the prince away.

He looked up and saw that both Wang and Cen had left. Only Jia Gonglu stood in front of the steps with his hands behind his back.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Jiaoran stepped forward and said, "Mr. Jia."

"You are quite capable." Jia Gonglu turned around and looked at her sharply, "Okay, I don't want to hear your excuses. You have to pay attention to the path under your feet in the future. Remember, the higher you climb, the easier it is to fall."

"The official understands. Don't worry, sir, the official is doing this without any selfish motives. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could use this to recruit Li Xiujing?" Pei Jiaoran said warmly with a smile on his face.

Listening to her words, Jia Gonglu chuckled softly in his throat. Then he rolled up his sleeves and left.

Watching Jia Gonglu go further and further away, Pei Jiaoran's straight back instantly relaxed. Taking a deep breath, he left the Rizheng Hall with a calm expression.

As soon as she arrived at the Censorship Station, several officials from the Censorship Station who had a good relationship with Pei Jiaoran came up to her and looked at her with smiles.

"Congratulations to Mr. Pei She for being promoted to Feng Pavilion."

Listening to the voices of several people, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "I am grateful to you for taking care of me these past few months."

After hearing this, the leader of the officials waved his hands and said with a smile, "Pei She's words are serious."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran smiled, bypassed the two of them and went to Zhi Xitui's apartment. Although she had not been to the Yushitai for half a year, she still had her own belongings in the public room.

After packing up all the items, Pei Jiaoran held the book box and went out. But she saw Yuan Yanchong standing at the door, staring straight at her.

"Yuan Sanduan." Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and called.

"Congratulations on getting what you wanted." Yuan Yanchong lowered his head and bowed to her, "Thank you for not leaving the people of Fengzhou."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a smile on his lips, "No need to thank me, I have my own selfish motives."

"Are you selfishly just to pave the way for Li Xiujing!"

After looking at Yuan Yanchong meaningfully, Pei Jiaoran moved away.

How could it be just to pave the way for Li Xiujing?

She wanted His Majesty to see her. It would be best to remove the shackles placed on her by Jia Gonglu and Wuchang Li. Although I haven't completely gotten rid of the party affiliation now, I can take a breather temporarily by entering the political hall.

When he returned to his residence, a new robe had been delivered to him by a clerk from the Political Hall.

Looking at the red lacquered wooden plate held in the scribe's hand. Inside was a light crimson robe, an eleven gold belt, and a silver fish bag.

It happened that a group of Imperial College students living in Chongyifang were returning from get out of class. Seeing this scene in front of them, they all stopped to watch.

"It's Qianfei!" one of them said.

"It's not Shen Fei, why are you making such a fuss." The other person waved away the hand on his shoulder and frowned: "There are so many fifth-grade officials in Chang'an City everywhere, I'm afraid they are the same number as the green turtles in Qujiang Pool. .”

"But don't you think she looks familiar?"

"Have you ever seen her?"

"Oops, I remembered who she was."

Looking at the Imperial College students who were standing around to watch, Pei Jiaoran took the robe from the clerk and said with a smile: "Thank you."

"Pei She is so polite," the scribe said with a smile.

Hearing the word "sacrifice oneself", the students in the Imperial College burst out in exclamation.

"She is that Pei Jiaoran! I remember she just came back less than a year ago, right?"

"Ah? It's actually her. In less than a year, she was already a fifth-rank official. But she's too young."

"Oh, when can we be like her?"

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and glanced at the students from the Imperial College. Turn around and go inside, slamming the door shut.

The students, who were awakened from their dreams by the loud slamming of the door, looked at the clerk who was still at the door and asked quickly, "How dare she get promoted to any position?"

"I'm from Zhongshushe." The clerk glanced at a few people and said, "If you let me, I have to go back and recover."

"She is really from Zhongshushe. I heard that most of the prime ministers will take this position. She is so awesome."

"It's so enviable. I wish I could be as good as her."

"Then you might as well pray to the gods to let you worship the Prime Minister in your dreams."

The noise at the door had dispersed, but Pei Jiaoran sat quietly in front of the desk. The pen and ink are there, but she has not held the pen for a long time.

It wasn't until a wisp of autumn wind rolled up the jade paper on the case that she picked up a pen and wrote the word "Fengzhou" on the case. After writing only two words, he folded it and stuffed it into the letterhead, and handed it to the post station for delivery to Guazhou.

On the third day after Pei Jiaoran was promoted to Zhongshusheren, the Youshence Army led by Lieutenant Liu was also officially dispatched to Fengzhou to conquer the Turks.

The sound of horse hooves broke the silence on the street. Pei Jiaoran opened the door and walked on the deserted street, heading towards Hanguang Gate. He just happened to pass by the Shence army.

It had been raining for several days and the ground was muddy. Where the Shence army's horse hooves passed by, mud flew everywhere.

Pei Jiaoran turned around and looked at Shence Jun who was walking away, and he smiled.

She thought it wouldn't be long before she might be able to see Li Xiujing again.

The office of Zhongshu Sheren is in Zhongshu Waibing, adjacent to Sifangguan and a guardhouse in Shence, and opposite is Menxia Waibing.

Li Zuo was already waiting at the door when he saw Pei Jiaoran coming. He quickly came forward to greet her and led her horse to the stable.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran stepped into Zhongshu's public room.

"Pei Sheren is here." An old man in a light crimson robe walked out and looked at him with a smile.

Looking at the visitor, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "Mr. Dou Ge."

The visitor is Dou Huaizhen. According to the system, the oldest person among the Shushe people is usually called the Pavilion Elder.

"Well." Dou Huaizhen led her to sit down and said warmly: "It's really impressive that you can come here after being an official. I know that you are from Yushitai, so your behavior is naturally good. But according to the rules of Zhongshu, you must also Know.”

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Ge."

"It is forbidden to violate the rules, it is forbidden to leak, it is forbidden to delay, and it is forbidden to forget." Dou Huaizhen said, stroking his beard.

"You should remember the teachings of Mr. Ge." Pei Jiaoran's tone was as respectful as ever.

Dou Huaizhen looked at her with a little more approval. I originally thought that this person would be proud of his talent, but I didn't expect him to be so humble.

"You are now in charge of secrets and have a heavy responsibility. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Xu Zhining and Ren Yaxiang."

"Here."

In addition to drafting edicts, Zhongshu Sheren also divided into six divisions and assisted the prime minister in judging cases. And Lu Hanwen, whom she replaced, was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.

After meeting with the other four housekeepers, Pei Jiaoran returned to her public room to deal with the affairs at hand. Because she is new here and has little experience. Dou Huaizhen didn't assign her many tasks, but asked her to take over the household affairs bit by bit first.
