Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Cheng Wan."

Cheng Wan, who was talking to two palace maids, instinctively turned her head. After seeing that it was King Rui, she quickly turned around and walked to King Rui: "Your Majesty."

The chief of the imperial guards, Cang Yi, reminded Cheng Wan: "Master Cheng, it's time to change your words."

Change your words?

Cheng Wan looked at King Rui. Facing his majestic and indifferent expression, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your humble servant pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

The two palace maids kneeling on the ground not far away lowered their heads even more.

In fact, Cheng Wan was a little confused and very nervous.

She didn't know what happened during the time she was visiting the palace?

Why did Prince Rui suddenly change his title to Emperor?

Isn't there any process in between?

Also, she had no training.

I really don't understand the proper language to use when talking to the emperor.

Apart from saying "Long live the emperor!", he can't do anything else.

"Cheng Wan, from today on, I will transfer you to the Ministry of Personnel and appoint you as the eighth-rank schoolmaster of the Ministry of Personnel."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Cheng Wan didn't bother to think about why the emperor wanted to transfer her to the Ministry of Personnel and what the Ministry of Personnel did. She kowtowed to the newly appointed emperor first.

"On September 1st, I will hold the coronation ceremony. You must return to Liangzhou as soon as possible with my order, assist Yan Mu in handling all matters in Liangzhou, and then escort the sweet potatoes harvested this year back to the capital safely."

"The minister obeys the order."

To be honest, if he wasn't facing the emperor, Cheng Wan would have been unable to help but complain.

Does this sound like a word?

Not only did they not give her a promotion, but they also asked her to do work beyond her job description.

Escorting sweet potatoes, does this have anything to do with the Ministry of Personnel?

Cheng Wan comforted himself in his heart: "The more capable you are, the more work you have to do. It's all my fault that I'm too capable!"

Cheng Wan did not ask further about how Deputy General Zhang and others would be arranged after arriving in the capital.

This is not her business.

This is not a trivial matter for the emperor to worry about.

After Deputy General Zhang and others arrive in the capital, someone will make arrangements for them.

Cheng Wan was only worried about Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Wan stood up from the ground respectfully and glanced at the emperor carefully, wondering whether he should say what was in his mind.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Cheng Wan swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, would like to borrow some money from you..."

"What did you say?"

The emperor rarely suspected that he had tinnitus.

The leader of the royal guards, Cang Yi, had a stunned expression.

"Your Majesty, you said that you would transfer me to the Ministry of Personnel, so I will definitely live in the capital from now on.

This time I am returning to Liangzhou, and my parents will most likely come to the capital with me, so they need a place to live.

Your Majesty, this is my first time in the capital, and apart from you, I don’t have anyone else I’m familiar with…”

Cheng Wan's voice became smaller and smaller.

The emperor looked at Cheng Wan with surprise: "So?"

"So I want to borrow some money from you. I want to buy a house first and then a shop since few people are buying houses now. I want to continue to run my Suiyilou in the capital..."

The emperor looked at Cheng Wan's head and said nothing.

Cheng Wan lowered his head and said carefully, "Your Majesty, if you don't agree, then just pretend I never said anything. OK?"

Cang Yi glanced at the emperor, who had a blank expression but seemed to be in a good mood, and then glanced at Cheng Wan, who looked cautious.

He really admired Cheng Wan a little.

It is impossible for ordinary people to treat the emperor as an outsider without doing this.

No, I mean learn everything.

"I'll send someone to get you the house and shop you want. Just focus on your work."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Wan happily gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

Sometimes, the less you treat the emperor as an emperor, the closer he will feel to you.

Her goal is to become a capable minister favored by the emperor!

Besides, the emperor sent people to help her get the house and shop, so the house and shop must be of good quality.

As for the money issue, we’ll talk about it later.

"Your Majesty, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave now."

"Go ahead. I have arranged for someone to go with you."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

Cheng Wan took three steps back, turned around and left.

The emperor looked at Cheng Wan's back, and suddenly he stroked his forehead and laughed out loud.

This was the first time for him to be asked to borrow money at his age.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you just tell Lord Cheng that you transferred her to the Ministry of Personnel for her own good? Lord Cheng would definitely be very grateful to Your Majesty if he knew."

The emperor lost his smile and turned to glare at Cang Yi: "Whoever is loyal to me and has done merit for me, I will naturally treat him well. I am the emperor, don't always try to figure out my thoughts like men and women do."

"I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Cang Yi knelt on one knee on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This man was in a good mood and had a good temper today, but he actually lost his respectfulness and became carried away by success.

"Do your part, and don't be curious about the rest. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands!"

......

On the other side, Cheng Wan had already reunited with the people arranged by the emperor.

The leader was Changfu's apprentice Xiao Miaozi.

"Master Cheng, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Why don't we wait for you at the city gate while you go find a place to fill your stomach first?"

Cheng Wan shook his head: "No need, just buy some food to eat on the way, but there is another matter that may require a little delay for everyone."

"Master Cheng, please speak."

Xiao Miaozi was extremely polite to Cheng Wan.

This person is now a favorite of the emperor, so you should praise him as much as possible and never offend him.

“According to the time, the people who went with me to deliver food should be arriving in the capital soon. A distant cousin of mine is in that team.

If I leave, he will be in the capital city, unfamiliar with the place and will probably be anxious and worried.

So I want to wait for them outside the city gate for a while, and when they arrive, I will take my cousin back to Liangzhou with me."

Xiao Miaozi smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's just a small matter, it won't delay anything, then, Master Cheng, shall we set off?"

The team that Cheng Wan and his team are heading back to Liangzhou is not large, with exactly ten people including Cheng Wan.

There were two carriages in the team, one for Xiao Miaozi and the other for Cheng Wan.

As for the other accompanying soldiers, they were all riding horses.

Cheng Wan sat in the carriage, opened the window and looked out. She finally understood what Prince Rui did before he changed his title to Emperor.

The news that Prince Rui has succeeded to the throne as the new emperor has been announced in the capital and is being announced to the world.

In the capital, there was news everywhere that the previous emperor had died and the new emperor had ascended the throne.

Cheng Wan closed the car window and suddenly thought of Gu Yan's grandfather.

Cheng Wan didn't care what would happen to Gu Yan's grandfather, but she was worried that Gu Yan would be sad.

"Whoo~"

Winners take it all, losers have to admit defeat...

Outside the city gate, Cheng Wan was eating a bun while waiting for Deputy General Zhang and others to show up.

About a quarter of an hour later, a report from a soldier came from outside the carriage.

"Master Cheng, the person you are waiting for has arrived."
