Yang Ai glanced at the wooden box that Han Wuyu sent over and pretended to be deep.
"Well,"
"I'll think about it."
"Speaking of which, the Northern Division is short of a memorial guard recently. I can transfer Zhang Mozhi to the Northern Division and give him a position as a memorial guard. This way, I won't have to refute the Ninth Prince.”
The Criminal Division was divided into the North Division and the South Division. The two divisions focused on different things. The North Division focused on investigating cases, while the South Division focused on investigating cases. In comparison, the people of the North Division would move around more and were often not in the palace, while the people of the South Division would spend more time in the palace.
Therefore, the people of the Southern Division actually had more room for maneuver in the officialdom. This was what the Third Prince wanted.
Han Wuyu said," Prefect Elder, you are wise!"
"In that case, I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first.”
"Yes, please send a message to His Highness for me.”
"Of course, of course. I'll take my leave.”
Han Wuyu retreated and walked to the next place to be dealt with.
Seeing Han Wuyu leave, the smile on Yang Ai's face disappeared. He looked at the exquisite wooden box for a long time.
"Young man, you're still lacking in maturity.”
"It's hard to achieve great things if you're impatient.”
As he spoke, Yang Ai put away the gift box that Han Wuyu had given him and placed it on the shelf behind him.
Yang Ai's eyes narrowed for a long time as he watched Han Wuyu leave.
......
Department of Rites and Law.
Liu Sidian was in the middle of arranging the etiquette system for a banquet when his subordinate came to report.
"Lord Si Dian, the First Prince's subordinate Wu Chu has something to say.”
"The First Prince?"
Liu Sidian paused." Please."
"Yes."
Not long after, Wu Chu was brought in.
Wu Chu was the person who had followed the First Prince at Bright Moon Academy that day.
"Junior Wu Chu greets Lord Si Dian.”
Liu Sidian gestured for everyone to leave before helping Wu Chu up." You're welcome, Brother.”
"Why didn't you tell me that you're here today? I was unprepared all of a sudden.”
"Lord Si Dian is too polite." Wu Chu said," This time, I'm here on the First Prince's orders.”
Liu Sidian nodded." What is Your Highness's decree?"”
Wu Chu said," His Highness wants to ask for a position with Sir Si Dian.”
Liu Sidian thought to himself,"As expected."
Now that the competition between the princes was getting more and more intense, they would come and greet any official that could be arranged in the court.
Some time ago, someone from the Fifth Prince's side had asked him for a seat. A few days later, someone from the First Prince's side had come again.
"Position? There aren't many positions in the Law and Rites Department. Brother, tell me which one Your Highness has his eyes on. I'll think of a way for you.”
Wu Chu said," Your Highness heard that the previous Si Li had unfortunately passed away, and the seat was vacant. No one has been up, so Your Highness specially came to ask Sir Si Dian for this job.”
"Si Li?"
Liu Sidian pondered.
In the Rites and Law Division, other than him, there were the two second-in-command of the Rites and Justice Division.
Liu Sidian had been keeping it empty. He really didn't want anyone else to take the position, so he kept it for his own family.
A few days ago, when the Fifth Prince came to ask for a position, he didn't give it away and only installed a third-in-command Law Attendant.
Now that the First Prince was here, they had no choice but to give it to him.
Who asked him to be in the First Prince's camp from the start, a supporter of the First Prince's ascension?
"It's not a problem for His Highness to arrange the position of Si Li. However, this position is quite popular, so it's a little difficult for me to do it.”
"Understood, understood!" Wu Chu said," Your Highness knows about this and asked me to pass on a message to Lord Si Dian.”
"This seat is what I, Su Yi, want. If anyone in the hall is not convinced or thinks that they are more qualified, feel free to come and find me, Su Yi.”
"If Lord Si Dian is in a difficult position, feel free to speak.”
Liu Sidian laughed." His Highness is still as domineering as ever, just like His Majesty."”
Wu Chu continued," This is the ruler we have chosen.”
"Also,"
Wu Chu took out a jade box from his bosom." It's just a small token of my respect. Sir Si Dian, please keep it."”
Gifts were a must in officialdom. How could he not return something to someone after asking for it?
"What is the meaning of this? Are you looking down on me?"
Si Dian said this, but his fingers opened a crack without leaving a trace and glanced at the things inside.
"No, no, no, Lord Si Dian, this one absolutely has no such intentions.”Wu Chu said," These are a few items I brought from Jiangnan when I left the academy. They aren't worth much, but they are exquisitely crafted and rare.”
Liu Sidian smiled.
After being an official for so many years, how could he not know what was valuable and what was not?
But since you said so.
"Since that's the case, I'll accept your kind intentions.”
The two chatted happily.
They talked for a long time before they left.
After sending Wu Chu off, Liu Sidian opened the jade box and saw a beautifully crafted jade Pi Xiu lying there quietly.
Liu Sidian held him in front of the table.
Jade Pixiu, what a good meaning.
......
After a few days, the winter's cold became even colder.
Fine snow began to fall from the sky.
The snow did not fall quickly, nor was it heavy, but the palace was still covered in a thin layer of snow. It was covered in silver, and at a glance, it looked like winter.
The snowflakes were soft and icy. When they landed on Hong Xiu's forehead, her entire body trembled. She quickly blew away the snowflakes.
Hahahaha.
Hong Xiu rubbed her hands and went to Su Yuan's side.
"Your Highness, it's getting cold. Why don't you go back to your room and sit for a while?”
Su Yuan waved his hand." It's not cold. I can take a look at the snow."”
"If you're cold, go back to your room and heat up the heater."
Hong Xiu shook her head. If His Highness did not return to his room, how would she dare to?
Hong Xiu retreated under the eaves to avoid the snow and wind.
Not long after, Hong Xiu, who was in a daze, heard someone calling her.
She walked out of the palace.
