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

"Master Hou."

Cheng Wan turned her head and saw that it was her previous colleague at Xingnong Yamen.

"Everyone is well."

Luo Pingwei, the former prosecutor of Xingnong Yamen and now the Yamen commander of Xingnong Yamen, finally smiled when facing Cheng Wanshi.

He bowed to Cheng Wan again and said with a smile: "My Lord, you are going to the capital. I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, Lord Luo."

Cheng Wan smiled and nodded slightly to Luo Pingwei as a return gesture.

"Master, Jinjin, this is the second time you have seen this Lord Luo smile at you. The first time was yesterday."

"Jinjin, this is why everyone wants to climb up the social ladder. When your status is high enough, you will be surrounded by 'good people' who will welcome you with smiles."

"Then the master must continue to work hard! Try to let everyone see that the master is a 'good person'!"

Cheng Wan: “…” So motivated.

"Master, come on! Master, go! Master, you are the best!"

Cheng Wan: "..., what nonsense have you watched again?"

"'Children's excellence cannot be separated from the praise and encouragement of their parents', Master, I think this book is very well written."

The corners of Cheng Wan's lips twitched slightly.

She was doing two things at once, speaking politely to her colleagues while replying to Jin Jin: "That's great, but you're not the parent, and I'm not the child, be good, we won't learn."

After saying that, Cheng Wan unilaterally cut off communication with Jin Jin.

"My Lord, I am now a ninth-rank attendant. Thank you...thank you."

Ji Dahai, who had been a ninth-rank yamen clerk for many years, was a very honest and taciturn man. When he said this just now, his attitude was very humble and he was so nervous that he stuttered a little.

Cheng Wan shook his head lightly: "Congratulations, but your promotion has nothing to do with me. I don't deserve your thanks."

Ji Dahai didn't say anything, but bowed to Cheng Wan again.

He understood very well that his promotion this time might be partly due to the fact that he had stayed in the ninth-rank official position for too long, but mostly because of his good relationship with Cheng Wan.

Thanks to this relationship, this "invisible man" was noticed by his superiors and was promoted.

Cheng Wan may not accept this favor, but he must acknowledge it.

"The team is finished coming out."

I don't know who shouted.

"How, how come it's so fast? Isn't this line very long?!"

Xiao Lin's heart tightened and she instinctively clenched Cheng Hua's hand.

Old Mrs. Lin sighed, "Alright, you all should go back. We are leaving too. Lao Er and San Zhu, this family is now in your hands. Please take good care of our family's assets that we have worked so hard to save, and also take good care of our family members."

"I know, mother, you must take good care of yourself, eat and drink as you should, be happy every day, and don't get angry about anything..."

"Oh, okay, okay, I get it."

Old Mrs. Lin's motherly expression only lasted for a short time, and then she waved her hand to interrupt Cheng Erniu's words.

But when Old Mrs. Lin turned around, her eyes became wet again.

After finishing the polite conversation with his colleagues, Cheng Wan looked around, lowered his eyes slightly, said nothing, and just helped Old Lady Lin get into the carriage.

No matter how reluctant you are, the time to say goodbye has come.

However, we will meet again eventually.

……

"Master, Marquis Zhaoping is back."

After hearing Leng He's report, Concubine Liu casually flicked her handkerchief and said, "I see. She is really a busy person."

Leng He gently pinched Concubine Liu's leg and chuckled, "She is a minister, so naturally she has to work harder. Unlike the queen, who is unparalleled in dignity, she naturally doesn't have to worry about so many idle things."

Concubine Liu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Obviously, Leng He's words touched her heart.

“I have been managing the palace for many years, and I am used to being busy and worried.

Leng He, tell the people below to carefully look after the princes and grandchildren. There must not be any mistakes, otherwise how can I explain to the emperor?"

"Master is kind, and God will surely grant your wish."

The so-called wish naturally refers to the emperor appointing Concubine Liu as the queen.

Concubine Liu's heart trembled. In the past two days, she had fantasized countless times that the emperor would make her the queen, and she would finally become the emperor's legitimate wife.

Concubine Liu grabbed Leng He's arm, causing her to stagger and almost fall down: "Leng He, do you think the Emperor has any other plans?"

Leng He did not dare to break free from Concubine Liu's hand. She maintained her awkward posture and comforted Concubine Liu in a soft voice: "Master, no matter from which perspective, you are the most suitable candidate for the Queen. Unless the Emperor does not intend to appoint a Queen in the Central Palace, who is more qualified than you to be the Queen in the Central Palace?"

"You're right, you're right..." Concubine Liu let go of Leng He's arm and murmured, her eyes filled with frightening ambition and gloom: "No matter who it is, as long as she dares to compete with me for the position of queen, I will make her live a life worse than death!"

……

At the front of the team, Jin Jin once again diligently reported the movements around him to Cheng Wan.

"Master, that Concubine Liu seems to be very unusual."

"If she was simple, how could she manage the palace well? And manage it for so many years?"

"Master, do you think she will become the queen?"

"It's very possible."

"But she doesn't like the master."

"I'm not a silver, isn't it normal for her to dislike me?"

"But what if she wants to harm the master?"

"As long as you don't do anything, think about it."

"It's too late to act! She is the queen. Is the master going to kill the queen?!"

Cheng Wan: “…Of course she can’t be killed.” If she attacks the queen, the Cheng family will all become ghosts at any time and reunite in the underworld. She is not crazy.

"Concubine Liu is most interested in the position of Queen. I am in the former court and she is in the harem. We should not interfere with each other. As long as I do not harm her interests, she should not make things difficult for me.

Of course, if she really dislikes me and whispers to the emperor to get rid of me, then I will naturally not let her do whatever she wants.

Jinjin, don't worry, I know what's going on."

At the end, a dark light flashed in Cheng Wan's eyes.

Concubine Liu was indeed quite hostile to her, and she had to be prepared to deal with it...

The team was so huge that pedestrians would give way wherever they passed, and wherever they stopped, nearby officials would come to pay their respects.

The time of the coronation ceremony is fixed, and no one dares to delay the emperor's coronation ceremony.

Except for the children who knew nothing, every adult hoped that the team could reach the capital city smoothly and as soon as possible.

Especially noble ladies like Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu did dislike Cheng Wan, but on the way to the capital, Concubine Liu was always very easy to talk to.

Cheng Wan stopped when she said stop, and left when she said leave, showing a high degree of cooperation.

Cheng Wan led the team towards the capital strictly according to the pre-planned route map. After twenty-two days of marching, the capital was in sight, and the emperor's coronation ceremony was also imminent.

Old Lady Lin and the others followed the team and slowly entered the majestic and magnificent gate of the capital city, their hearts were filled with excitement...
