"I, Nalan Youyou, have received the edict to express my gratitude.”Nalan Youyou bowed deeply after a short moment of surprise.
Now, she can no longer call herself a daughter of a minister, but a minister. With the Emperor's decree, she, Nalan Youyou, is now a third-grade female official of our dynasty.
Jiang Ruyan gritted her teeth and almost died of anger. After Nalan Jingjing heard this, she looked at Nalan Youyou with a hint of hatred in her eyes. However, now that Nalan Youyou was a third-grade female official, they could not touch her at all.
After a banquet, some people were happy while others were sad. Beiming Yu was very happy for Nalan Youyou when she became a third-grade female official. If she became a third-grade female official, she could enter the palace at any time in the future.
Beiming Ye didn't think so. He had thrown his face into hell just now. Why didn't he think of anything else when he saw the painting just now? He actually wanted to exonerate her, and now he actually made such a big fool of himself.
Beiming Ye secretly drank the wine in his glass angrily. Beiming Gu looked at Nalan Youyou with satisfaction. Ever since he first met her, he knew that she was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Now, it seemed that it was true. A third-grade female official. This was the first female official in the current dynasty, and it was an unprecedented honor.
The Emperor said a few more words and gave him some rewards. He even gave him a waist token that allowed him to enter the palace at any time. Nalan Youyou thanked him again and returned to her seat.
However, because her status was different now, she naturally sat in a different place. She sat directly behind the officials, which meant that her current status was not as noble as those officials 'wives. Nalan Youyou calmly sat down with her head lowered.
Pei Yi looked at Nalan Youyou, who had been promoted to a third-grade official, and smiled with satisfaction. Her eyes curved into crescents as the surrounding officials congratulated her in hushed voices. There were also countless envious and jealous gazes on the old madam's side. The old madam was very pleased with these gazes.
There were already countless wrinkles on his old face, and now that he was smiling, the wrinkles on his face increased even more. The banquet lasted until the second half of the night. Beiming Yu wanted to keep Nalan Youyou in the palace to accompany her for a while, but she thought that Nalan Youyou was tired today and had to receive the reward tomorrow, so it was not suitable for her to stay here.
Nalan Youyou then walked out of the palace under Beiming Yu's unwillingness. On the way, Nalan Jingjing did not say a word. Nalan Yanwan sat beside Nalan Jingjing with a mean expression," Second Sister, you said that you lost big today. You said that you got first place with great difficulty, but you didn't get anything. Look at Eldest Sister, not only was she given a third rank official, but she also received countless rewards. Second Sister, when do you think you will be able to obtain such glory?" Big Sister is now the first female official of our dynasty. Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes her look very glorious.”
Nalan Yanwan's eyes narrowed, imagining that she would be the one being made a female official, and that she would receive countless gazes whenever she went out.
"Third Younger Sister seems to be happy too early. The one who was appointed as an official is Eldest Older Sister and has nothing to do with you.”Nalan Jingjing had been sitting in the car in a bad mood and was unwilling to speak. However, Nalan Yanwan kept talking, and every word she said stabbed into her heart. Only then did she reply to Nalan Yanwan.
This time, it was not good. Nalan Yanwan was even more excited. She rolled her eyes at Nalan Jingjing and teased," If it was Second Older Sister, she probably would not have received such a reward."”
"You!"
"What do you mean you! Aren't you just thinking that you can get the favor of the princes? But look, not only is the Sixth Princess so good to Eldest Sister, but the Second Prince is also so good to Eldest Sister and even confessed to her in public. Tell me, Second Sister, why didn't the Prince confess to you?”
"Nalan Yanwan, you! You!" Nalan Jingjing was furious at Nalan Yanwan. It was all Beiming Ye's fault for confessing under such circumstances. If he didn't fancy the power behind Nalan Youyou, he wouldn't even look at Nalan Youyou, let alone confess to Nalan Youyou.
Nalan Youyou, don't be too proud. I'll step on you sooner or later. Seeing Nalan Jingjing's resentful face and Nalan Yanwan's laughter, Nalan Jingjing was so angry that she wanted to chase Nalan Yanwan away.
When they arrived at the Nalan Residence, the old madam stood at the door with a smile and waited for Nalan Youyou. Nalan Youyou walked down slowly with the help of Yuejun.
Seeing the old madam and Nalan Peiyi standing at the door, Nalan Youyou thought that they had something important to discuss. She stepped forward and bowed, but was interrupted by Nalan Peiyi.
"Youyou, you've brought much glory to our Nalan Residence today. She's the first female official in our country, and she's the only female official so far. You have to pay more attention to your words and actions in the future, understand?”
"Father, I understand. It's just that it's a little inconvenient to talk at the door.”Nalan Youyou's expression was a little ugly. She had stayed up all night today, so she naturally looked a little uncomfortable. Nalan Peiyi's old face faltered upon hearing her daughter's words, but she immediately understood and burst into laughter.
"Haha, yes, yes, yes. Youyou is right. Let's go in. It's already late. You guys can go back and rest.”When they left, they exchanged a few simple words with Nalan Youyou in the main hall, which was probably to instruct her on how to conduct herself in the future. However, when they saw everyone's tired faces, they waved their hands and dismissed them.
Yuejun helped Nalan Youyou back to her courtyard and looked at Nalan Youyou excitedly." Miss, you're so nice. I really didn't expect that you would have a third-grade female official at your birthday banquet."”
"What's so good about a third-grade female official? Isn't she still like this?”Yuejun had prepared a bath for Nalan Youyou. Nalan Youyou was soaking in the water and enjoying the temperature of the water as she spoke indifferently and calmly. It was just a false reputation, but it was better than nothing. Moreover, with this false reputation, Zhuang Huaijin and the others would have to be more careful if they wanted to scheme against him.
As the saying went, it was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. He was afraid that he would have to be more careful in the future.
Seeing Nalan Youyou's worried expression, Yuejun had already guessed what was going on. She lowered her voice and said to Nalan Youyou," Miss, are you worried about Second Madam?”
"That's right. It's easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. They've always wanted to deal with me. However, there wasn't much to worry about. The only thing to worry about was the trouble.”Nalan Youyou closed her eyes and felt a little tired. She never wanted to go on stage today, but she was forced to do so by Jiang Ruyan.
"Jiang Ruyan." Nalan Youyou's red lips parted slightly as she muttered Jiang Ruyan's name. Yuejun, who was standing beside Nalan Youyou and wiping Nalan Youyou's back, heard Nalan Youyou's name and thought of what Jiang Ruyan had said to the young lady today. She was furious.
Yuejun said angrily," Young Miss, this Young Miss of the Jiang family doesn't know any manners at all. Her words are so sharp and mean. She's really not taught well."”
Nalan Youyou looked at Yuejun in amusement. Her smile pierced Yuejun's eyes. For a moment, Yuejun was stunned by Nalan Youyou.
Nalan Youyou coughed lightly. Only then did Yuejun come back to her senses. She looked at Nalan Youyou with an embarrassed expression and complained," Miss, this is all your fault. Why are you smiling at me for no reason? You're so good-looking that I can't take my eyes off you."”
"Pfft." Nalan Youyou laughed and pointed at Yuejun's forehead." You're the only one who knows how to talk. Alright, don't stay here. I'll soak here for a while before leaving." You should go rest too."
"Miss, that won't do. I'm here to serve you, how can I leave? No, no, no!" Yuejun shook her head like a rattle-drum.
Nalan Youyou looked at Yuejun and smiled." Go back and rest. I'll be fine."”
"Miss!"
"Alright, hurry up and go. If you don't go back and rest, I'll be angry.”As she spoke, Nalan Youyou glared at Yuejun with an angry expression. When Yuejun saw this, she stomped her feet angrily on the ground and turned to leave.
After Yuejun left, Nalan Youyou walked out of the water bucket, changed into a new set of clothes, sat down at the table, and drank a glass of water. Before entering the palace, there was a man in black who had come looking for him. He should be here today.
In less than fifteen minutes, she heard the sound of wind rushing into the room. Nalan Youyou knew that this person was here! "I've got what you wanted.”
Nalan Youyou took out a blood-red jade pendant from her sleeve and placed it on the table. The man didn't say anything. He walked to the table and took the jade pendant in his hand. After confirming it for a moment, he said," You've already helped me get what I wanted. Is there anything you want me to help you with?"”
"Very good. I just want to ask you for a small favor. It's a very simple thing, so it shouldn't be difficult for you.”Nalan Youyou did not even look at that person. Since he had already said it, she did not need to be polite. Moreover, she had to deal with this matter first. If anything happened in the future, it would be easier for her to deal with.
Moreover, she and Jiang Ruyan must be sworn enemies today. If she didn't make some preparations for her, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
"Tell me."
"Do you know that there's an only daughter called Jiang Ruyan in the Jiang family's manor?”Nalan Youyou looked at the man in black. She didn't know if he knew her. If he didn't, she had to think of another way.
"Jiang Ruyan? What do you want?”Nalan Youyou didn't expect this person to know Jiang Ruyan. Not only did he know Jiang Ruyan, but he also knew about the police. This made things much easier.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
