I, Chu Yi, Am Not an Official!
The inner courtyard of the prince's mansion
At this moment, Chu Yi was lying leisurely beside the lotus pond in the backyard. His hands were behind his head and his legs were crossed. His face was covered with a notebook, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
It was just that the afternoon sun was just right. The warm golden sunlight scattered on his body, making him feel uncomfortable and comfortable. This was a good opportunity to take a nap!
In modern times, Chu Yi was just a lowly social animal. He would usually take his afternoon nap at the table or not sleep at all. How could he have the opportunity to eat and drink to his heart's content?
Strolling around the garden, picking a good spot, reading some folk books, and casually lying down to sleep when tired. He didn't have to worry about being woken up by an alarm clock or the ringing of a cell phone. A life without goals and KPIs was really comfortable!
Now, the bank's matters were on the right track, and the people assigned to each step were already familiar with the operational process. Chu Yi no longer needed to worry about other trivial matters.
Now, Chu Yi was once again a carefree and carefree person.
"So husband was slacking off by the lotus pond. It was so hard for me to find him!”
A soft voice came from afar. It was Li Xue Yan who had taken a short nap after lunch. After she woke up, she did not see Chu Yi, so she wanted to come to the backyard to look for him.
Chu Yi heard the voice and took the book off his face. Under the sunlight, he opened his eyes slightly and adapted to the bright sunlight. He turned his head and saw that Li Xue Yan was already standing beside him.
"It's just a short nap, and Furen misses me so much. Why don't we hug each other and take a short nap next to the lotus pond in the future, and be a pair of happy mandarin ducks together?”
Chu Yi smelled the pleasant fragrance on Li Xue Yan's body and stood up slightly. He couldn't help but reach out and hug her, pulling her into his arms.
"Aiya, husband, this is outside.”Li Xue Yan accidentally fell into Chu Yi's arms and laid down beside the Lotus Pond with him.
If that servant saw this in broad daylight, she was afraid that news would spread and she would be embarrassed to death!
"Furen, when you see the flowers and green grass in this garden, don't you feel happy? Husband is very happy, if Furen can appreciate it with me, wouldn't it be great!”
Chu Yi stared at Li Xueyan with deep affection in his eyes. The corners of his lips curved into a smile that was not a smile. It blended into the magnificent scenery in the garden and was extremely beautiful.
Li Xue Yan had always felt that Chu Yi's smirk and the flirtatious words he used to say to her were very alluring. It was completely different from his usual serious appearance when he was outside receiving guests. Perhaps this was his true appearance, and this appearance would only be displayed in front of Li Xue Yan.
Thinking of this, Li Xue Yan's face turned red. She lowered her head and hid in Chu Yi's embrace, not struggling anymore.
At this moment, Chu Yi was hugging the warm and soft jade in his arms. He smelled the fragrance of a woman on Li Xue Yan's body and looked at her blushing face. He was very satisfied.
He liked to tease Li Xue Yan and see her shy look.
This ancient woman was used to being reserved and was not as direct as modern women. He had only said a few words that were not very explicit, but he had already teased this little lady. Her face was red. It was a different feeling.
Chu Yi lowered his head and looked at Li Xue Yan's red face. He couldn't help but kiss her.
"Ah…"
Li Xue Yan did not expect Chu Yi to kiss her directly. She panicked and wanted to hide, but Chu Yi held her tightly in his arms. She had nowhere to hide.
"Madam is so cute when she's shy.”Chu Yi quietly moved his mouth to Li Xue Yan's ear and said this sentence.
"Husband, you…"
"Guye, Guye, where are you?"
The servant girl's voice interrupted Li Xue Yan's words. When she heard that someone was coming, Li Xue Yan became even more flustered. She anxiously tried to pull Chu Yi up from the ground.
"Guye, miss, so you are here. It was so hard for me to find you!”At this moment, a servant girl had already seen them and hurriedly ran over.
Li Xue Yan had yet to recover and did not reply.
Chu Yi, on the other hand, looked at the girl's anxious appearance and thought that she had something important to do. Why are you looking for me?”
"Someone from the palace came with an imperial edict to look for you.”the servant girl replied.
Inside the palace? Imperial decree?
Chu Yi already had a sense of propriety in his heart, but he didn't show it. He smiled faintly and said,""Oh? The people in the palace naturally could not be neglected. Let's go, I will go over now. Furen will wait for me in the room.”When he said the second half of the sentence, he put on his usual evil smile and stared straight at Li Xue Yan.
Li Xue Yan saw that there were outsiders around and she was teased by her husband. She was a little angry and pushed him,"Go quickly!"
On the other side, in the reception hall, there was indeed the steward father-in-law sitting beside Li Er, and Li Daozong was accompanying him.
Seeing that his son-in-law was late, Li Daozong was a little anxious and said,"This son-in-law has never stepped into the royal court, so there are many etiquette that I am not clear about.”
"It's fine. Your son-in-law is now a fish leaping over the dragon gate and has a prosperous official career. I still hope that he will take care of me in the future.”The eunuch was a smart man and naturally knew that Chu Yi would achieve great things in the future.
"Chu Yi, Young Master Chu, receive the decree!”
The eunuch didn't waste any time and directly read the imperial edict.
Chu Yi felt a little suffocated as he read out all the cliché words. Actually, the translation was very simple:
It turned out that Li Shimin had given Chu Yi the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and asked him to fully assist in the imperial examinations.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to a minister in the present day. Chu Yi had failed the national examination several times in the modern era. Now that he had transmigrated to ancient times, he had actually picked up such a high position!
When Li Daozong heard this decree, he was naturally very happy. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. He looked at his son-in-law, but he didn't seem to feel anything. His father-in-law had finished reading the imperial edict, but he didn't intend to kneel and accept it.
" Cough cough." Li Daozong thought that Chu Yi was too happy and kicked him before he could react.
This kick indeed caused Chu Yi to react. He moved a little and then threw out a sentence that shocked everyone present.
"Thank you for the emperor's grace, but this subject feels that I am lacking in talent and learning, and am not worthy of this position. I hope that the emperor will be merciful and take back the imperial edict.”
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he bent his body at a 90-degree angle and bowed with both hands.
