Chapter 16 Selected by him
It was the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month when the Ministry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China presented to Ming Xuanyu the draft edict conferring Princess Antai as Princess Zhenguo.

He was startled at first, but after looking at it for a while, he nodded in agreement and ordered them to issue an edict today.

After Lan Zhen's death, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to adjust the servants of Qianqing Palace. Zhou Ming told the emperor to reassign a group of people to serve, and recommended new candidates for female officials.The emperor was very irritable, and he became even angrier when he saw the people kneeling in the hall.

Zhou Ming waited for a long time, but the emperor did not speak, and it was not easy to rush, so he had to glance at him.

He also knew that it was impossible for him to persevere. Anyway, the people around him were always the eyes of all parties.

"The so-and-so," he said suddenly, and Zhou Ming showed joy, thinking that the emperor accepted it, but unexpectedly the emperor said, "The one who is waiting for the female officer." He got up and walked off the throne, ordered everyone to look up, and watched for a long time Yes, I found Xinyi kneeling in the corner, so I pointed at her, "That's her!"

Everyone was looking for who he was talking about, Xinyi stared at him in surprise, could it be herself?But he was not sure, and looked around like everyone else.

Seeing that she didn't respond, he simply said, "Let Zhuang Xinyi temporarily act as the female officer, and we'll talk about it later when we find a suitable one!"

Now it's really her!She didn't know how she was chosen. Originally, Eunuch Nian said that he could find a way to keep her in the Qianqing Palace. The best situation would be to be a court lady serving tea, but she did not expect to be hand-picked by the emperor.

She still didn't react, knelt there, staring at him blankly.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming didn't understand the situation. Who is this Zhuang Xinyi?Judging by her kneeling position and clothes, she should be a very low-level court lady. Why was she promoted to a fourth-rank female official all of a sudden?The eunuch behind Zhou Ming told him in a low voice, "She is Liu Yunxuan's rough envoy." Zhou Ming hurriedly told the emperor that such a promotion is really against the rules and is inappropriate!

The emperor was a little impatient, and asked back: "Don't I even have this little right?"

Zhou Ming hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, but everyone stared at Xinyi, their eyes were either surprised or jealous or disdainful, Xinyi was suddenly pushed to the forefront!

Just when she was thinking wildly, she heard the emperor yell: "I want to write, why don't you come and polish the ink?" She quickly lifted her skirt and ran over.

"As for the others, you can decide for yourself!" After saying this, the emperor flung his sleeves towards Dongnuange, Xinyi followed behind.

Xinyi heard the sound of clothes whirling away behind her, she turned her head to look at her, but her footsteps didn't stop, bumping into his back, it turned out that he stopped.Because she was still ill, her body was still weak, and she sat on the ground all of a sudden.All the palace people were about to disperse, but when they saw this scene, they watched quietly, and some began to cover their mouths and laugh.

She blushed all of a sudden, and inadvertently raised her eyes to meet his, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearable in those eyes, but soon, he also showed a gloating expression.Although his gentle eyes were only for a moment, she was such a sensitive person, and all his expressions were controlled by her.However, she still wondered if it was her hallucination.Seeing him laughing because of his embarrassment like everyone else, I couldn't help feeling a little sullen.

He moved his hand from his sleeve towards her slightly, and immediately turned his hand away, and said with a stern expression: "You still come in?" After speaking, she stepped over the threshold and entered, she quickly stood up, and turned towards the group of palace people Glancing at it, he followed him in.

"Close the door!" He said coldly, sitting in front of the imperial case and began to select pens.

Closing the door according to Yan, she knew without even thinking about how the group of people outside were already arranging her.

"Do you want to take Lan Zhen's place?" He lowered his head and asked her in writing. She didn't know what he was thinking at all, and how she should answer, she was silent for a long time.

He turned his head slightly to look at her, frowned, then lowered his head and continued writing.

She thought for a long time before answering: "Slaves are stupid, even if they spend their whole lives, they are still not as good as Mr. Lan! How dare you have the heart to replace them?"

"When I saw you writing that day, I think you must be able to read and write. What books have you read?" He asked without raising his head.

She told him the words she had prepared: "The servant girl came from a humble background, but she learned a few words with her elder brother when she was young, but she is blind!"

He sneered and asked, "Do you know what I'm learning?"
