Staying In The East Palace, The Prince Is Actually A Girl!

"Boom!"

Someone quickly arrived outside Xiao Fan’s courtyard and knocked on the door.

Xiao Fan opened the door and saw Liu Ping outside.

Liu Ping said hurriedly: "Xiao Shidu, please hurry up and get ready. The imperial edict has arrived, and the father-in-law from the palace has already entered the prince's residence."

Xiao Fan looked down.

My clothes are not bad either, so there is nothing wrong with just following the orders.

Soon three eunuchs from the palace came over.

The leading old eunuch held a golden imperial edict in his hand.

"Prince's Attendant Xiao Fan accepts the order!"

The leading eunuch, Eunuch Liu, said in a sharp voice.

"Wei Chen Xiao Fan accepts the order."

Xiao Fan knelt down and said, Normally you don't need to kneel down when meeting Qin Zhentian, but you still need to kneel down when receiving an order.

Some people watching the excitement also knelt down.

Eunuch Liu unfolded the imperial edict and said: "Your Majesty's imperial edict, the prince reads it. Xiao Fan has developed a simple counting method and has made great contributions to the country. He is specially promoted to the seventh rank prince to read it. I admire this."

"The humble minister accepts the order."

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Xiao Fan accepted the imperial edict.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "Shi Xiao has been promoted to the second level in a row. I am very happy and congratulated."

"Our family rarely sees His Majesty giving edicts to officials below the fifth rank. Xiao Shi has read His Majesty's eyes. He has a bright future."

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Three father-in-laws, you have worked hard all the way here. If you don't mind it, why don't you drink a bowl of water from me before leaving?"

"Xiao Shidu, then we will disturb you."

Eunuch Liu and the others entered the courtyard.

Xiao Fan poured a bowl of water for each of them.

In addition, a red envelope was prepared for them, Eunuch Liu had 500 Tianlong coins, and the other two young eunuchs also had 200 Tianlong coins.

Eunuchs also need to spend money, and of course they like money.

"Xiao Shidu, the environment here is pleasant. It's a pity that our family has to go back to recover as soon as possible, so we won't disturb you anymore."

"Farewell."

Eunuch Liu and the others left with smiles on their faces.

"The seventh-grade prince is here to read, tut tut."

A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face. He thought he was just promoted to the eighth level, but Qin Zhentian didn't expect that Qin Zhentian directly mentioned it to him.

The territory of the Tianlong Empire is very large, and the area under the jurisdiction of the seventh-grade county magistrate is not small. If he is transferred to a local level, he will be the county magistrate.

As his official position increases, his monthly salary will increase. In addition, there is an invisible benefit: his safety will increase.

The higher the official position, the greater the cost if others assassinate him!

As a seventh-grade prince's attendant who was brought forward by the imperial edict, if he was assassinated, the government would definitely devote great efforts to solving the case.

"Xiao Shidu, congratulations."

"Xiao Shidu, I didn't expect you to be directly promoted to the seventh rank Shidu. It's amazing!"

"Xiao Shidu, you have just received a commendation from the Crown Prince and a reward from His Majesty. Your future is boundless."

Some people who had just watched the excitement entered Xiao Fan's courtyard, and they all opened their mouths to congratulate him.

These are all people from the Prince's Palace, and many of them have higher official positions than Xiao Fan.

"Thank you for your support."

"It's just a small seventh-grade scholar, nothing in Shengjing City."

Xiao Fan said modestly.

A middle-aged man in white robes next to Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Xiao Shidu, don't belittle yourself, you are still so young."

"Besides, we are affiliated to the Prince's Mansion. Who wouldn't think highly of us when we are outside? Although you are only a seventh-grade official, the sixth-grade officials outside must be polite when they see you."

As an emperor and a courtier, everyone knows that as long as the prince ascends the throne, some people in the prince's palace will definitely be put into important positions.

There is nothing wrong with looking one level higher.

The value of Xiao Fan, a seventh-rank official, is much higher than that of an ordinary seventh-rank official.

"Shen Zhan is right."

Xiao Fan smiled.

This middle-aged man in white robe is the young master of the Prince's Mansion, Zhan Shi Shen An, who is in charge of many affairs of the Prince's Mansion. Above him, there is also Zhan Shi of the East Palace.

Shao Zhanshi is the fourth grade, and Zhan Shi is the third grade.

It turned out that Xiao Fan was only a student of the ninth-grade prince, and was not in Shen An's eyes at all. Now, the gap between Xiao Fan and the seventh-grade prince has become smaller.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was directly promoted to the seventh rank by imperial decree, which means that Xiao Fan has already been marked in His Majesty's heart.

Shen An smiled and said: "Xiao Shidu, I just miss Zhan Shi, you call me Shen Zhan Shi, be careful Feng Zhan Shi scolds you when the time comes."

"Shen An, am I such a stingy person?"

A slightly older voice sounded outside the courtyard, and Feng Xinian, the official of the Prince's Mansion, got the news and rushed over.

"Master Zhan Shi."

Everyone saluted.

Feng Xinian waved his hand: "We are all on our own, so there is no need to be polite. Congratulations to Xiao Shidu for getting a beauty and getting promoted."

Xiao Fan smiled and said nothing.

Feng Xinian turned his eyes and said: "Xiao Shidu, you have become a seventh-grade Shidu. I can give you a bigger yard."

"In addition, your monthly salary will be increased to five thousand Tianlong coins per month."

Xiao Fan originally had three thousand Tianlong coins per month, but the increase to five thousand Tianlong coins has increased a lot. This money is equivalent to twenty-five thousand in the previous life.

The Tianlong Empire treats officials relatively favorably. Officials receive a lot of monthly salary and can live a good life without corruption.

Xiao Fan said quickly: "Master Zhan Shi, I am used to living in this courtyard. There is no need for three people to live in a larger courtyard."

"I have put a lot of effort into these flowers and plants, and I don't want to change places."

Change place? That won't work!

His yard uses the Zhenfu Monument. It is very difficult to move the Zhenfu Monument. There is no need to bother with it for the time being.

Qin Xuan will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in a year and a half, and they will all have to leave then.

"Don't want to change?"

"Then according to the rules, the monthly salary can provide some compensation. There should be no problem in increasing your monthly salary to 6,000 Tianlong coins."

"I'll apply for you then."

Feng Xinian stroked his beard and smiled.

As Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, he is an excellent person. Xiao Fan was rewarded by the Prince and received a reward from His Majesty, which is extraordinary.

Even if Xiao Fan is only in the seventh rank, it would be best if he could make friends with him.

"Thank you, Master Zhan Shi."

Xiao Fan said happily.

One thousand Heavenly Dragon Coins is a lot. With one thousand Heavenly Dragon Coins more every month, his life will be more comfortable, and he will not struggle with money.

Feng Xinian smiled and said: "Xiao Shidu, we are all subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion. You can move around more and don't be too exposed."

Xiao Fan nodded: "Master Zhan Shi is right. I will invite everyone to have a dinner at Fengyue Tower tonight. I wonder if Master Zhan is free?"

Feng Xinian laughed and said: "I have food to eat and wine to drink, so of course I am free. A happy event like yours must be celebrated."

"Shen An, please help Mr. Xiao read statistics on how many people want to go. It's been a while since we all got together."

Shen An smiled and nodded: "No problem."

"Xiao Shidu, you will probably spend a lot of money tonight. There will definitely be many people who want to join in the fun of such a happy event."

Xiao Fan smiled, it was impossible to spend money.

How could he go empty-handed when everyone came to support him when he was promoted? After collecting a bunch of gifts, he would definitely earn a lot.

"We won't disturb you too much, Mr. Xiao. See you in the evening."

Feng Xinian smiled.

Soon Feng Xinian and the others left.
