Zhou Shuren didn't even have to hand over the Ministry of Revenue. Lord Xiao delegated power too efficiently. The biggest change for Zhou Shuren was that he moved to a separate office, which was the best office in the Ministry of Revenue.
The prince had taken away Lord Xiao's belongings before he ascended the throne, leaving nothing for Zhou Shuren.
Lord Xiao also took away Zhou Shuren's favorite tea set. Looking at the empty house, he pouted and said, "I'm waiting for my son-in-law to give me the best tea set, yes, and tea leaves."
Qiu Yan, "... "
It's amazing to have an awesome son-in-law, and it's even more amazing to have a son-in-law who you raised yourself. Look how confident he is in what he says.
Zhou Shuren's things were slowly moved over and placed. Qiu Yan went out for a while and came back soon, "All the officials of the Ministry of Revenue are waiting outside, waiting to talk to you!"
Zhou Shuren blinked, "And an inaugural speech?"
Qiu Yan: "Ah?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "I won't say any more, let them all go back to work."
It's not like he has just arrived at a new department, the Ministry of Revenue. He knows all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue better than he does.
Besides, a new official has three big things to do when he takes office, so he still has to make some efforts. It would be better not to meet them first and give some cold shoulder to those with ulterior motives.
Qiu Yan repeated Zhou Shuren's words. The officials outside were a little stunned. Most of them went back quickly. Having worked together for many years, they all understood Mr. Zhou's temper.
On the contrary, some people who were more concerned hesitated for a while before leaving.
Qiu Yan came back and asked, "I thought the emperor would assign the position of assistant minister to the Ministry of Revenue that was vacant today!"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "This position will be vacant for a while. The emperor has just succeeded."
Even if he was registered as the emperor, it would take time to place his confidants in important departments. Moreover, based on Zhou Shuren's understanding of the emperor, the position of the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was vacant, which was also a good bait!
At night, in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, there were only three masters in the huge mansion. If it weren't for the many servants, it would be really empty.
When Rongchuan returned to the palace, he would go straight to his wife and daughter and would never stay alone in the front yard for even a second.
Xue Han was hiding from her daughter's fat hands, playing hide-and-seek with her daughter. When the little girl saw her father, she stopped trying to catch her mother and quickly ran towards her father, saying in a baby voice, "Daddy."
Rongchuan's heart, which had been abused by his father-in-law, was instantly healed. He picked up his daughter and asked, "Linxi, do you miss your dad?"
"think."
Daddy is great at playing with her, and she loves to fly high.
Xue Han smiled and said, "Go change your clothes quickly. The meal will be delivered soon."
Rongchuan handed his daughter to his wife, nodded and went in to change clothes. When Rongchuan came out, he said to his wife, "Pack up the tea set I got from the emperor a few days ago. Yes, also pack the tea leaves given by my father."
Xue Han was stunned by this, "You really like this tea set, how do you put it together?"
Rong Chuan endured the pain and said, "I will send it to the Ministry of Revenue for Dad tomorrow."
Xue Han: "...Did you meet dad when you came back?"
Rongchuan nodded. The old man was waiting for him at the intersection. His words implied that Lord Xiao was stingy and left without leaving anything. He ordered tea sets from Lord Xiao several times, so he couldn't play dumb.
Xue Han chuckled, "Why is Dad taking advantage of you?"
Rongchuan also smiled, "As long as the old man is happy."
Xue Han was not worried that Rong Chuan would have conflicts with her father. Her father knew his limits and was tolerant of Rong Chuan. Moreover, her husband had become a prince, and her father had helped him with many suggestions.
From the deepening relationship between my husband and the emperor, I can see how powerful my father’s ideas are.
In the blink of an eye it was time for the Queen's coronation ceremony. The ceremony was also grand. It was complicated, but it was still simpler than the succession ceremony. Zhulan and other ladies of honor were waiting in the harem, waiting to pay their respects to the Queen.
Zhulan is also a lady now, Madam Yang, and her position is very advanced, as she is the wife of the six ministers, and all of her neighbors are the wives of ministers.
Zhulan is not the fattest, but she is the youngest. Being fat makes her look younger, so she stands out among the old ladies in public.
Zhulan didn't feel anything about meeting the new queen. She moved her ears and could still hear the sound of palace music. She thought about the process that Changyi had explained to her, and that the queen would have to wait a while before coming back.
These ladies of honor were treated well. Not only did they have places to sit while waiting, but they also had places to go to the toilet, which was very convenient.
Zhulan thought of her daughter. The princesses were not with the ladies of honor.
In the room where Xue Han was waiting, she drank tea and observed her sisters-in-law. Princess Qi's second sister-in-law followed her mother's words and let herself go. Well, the second sister-in-law looked the best. Even though her mother-in-law moved into the palace, Princess Qi still had no trouble.
The one with the worst complexion was my third sister-in-law, Princess Chu. Thinking of the gossip that her mother had told her, the Chu Palace was very lively. No wonder Princess Chu had such thick powder on her face.
The fourth sister-in-law no longer has the sharpness of the past. Ever since the palace coup, the Prince Liang's Mansion has wanted to disappear, so now the fourth sister-in-law tries not to say anything.
Xue Han withdrew her gaze and thought about the harem. On the second day after the emperor ascended the throne, all the women and children from the prince's backyard entered the palace. Thinking of this, Xue Han thought of the decree of enthronement and her face became a little subtle. There would be a big drama soon.
When the queen returned to the harem, the first person she met was the prince. The prince’s biological mother had to stand at the back because she had not been canonized. However, the prince was already a prince when the emperor ascended the throne.
The next prince is a princess, and she is still a princess even without a title.
Today is the Queen’s big day, a day that belongs exclusively to the Queen. Women who have not been crowned yet can only come to pay their respects until she is officially crowned tomorrow.
The Queen sat there enjoying the visits from Princess Qi and others, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, but they still had to bow down at her feet.
While waiting for the lady to come to pay her respects, Zhulan was so tired of sitting that she almost died.
The first thing I saw when I came in was the Queen Mother. People are in high spirits when they are happy. The most representative one is the Queen Mother today, who is so radiant!
